“Leeds Intensify Efforts to Sign ‘Electric’ Winger in Permanent Transfer, Says Journalist”

Leeds United are aiming to bolster their squad in several key areas before the August 30 transfer deadline, with a focus on adding a winger being particularly crucial.

Daniel Farke, Leeds’ manager, has publicly expressed his desire for new signings on two separate occasions, highlighting the club’s pressing need to strengthen their team.

Following the departures of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, who together contributed 50 goals in the Championship, Leeds are in search of two new attacking players.

The funds from these exits mean that Leeds will need to secure high-quality replacements to satisfy fans and address the current frustration stemming from a lack of transfer activity and poor communication from the board.

The position of winger is notably significant, and Leeds have been linked with several potential targets.

Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe is one possibility, though he seems destined for a move to Marseille.

Sunderland’s Jack Clarke is another option, but his high price and Premier League interest make him a more challenging target.

Other potential recruits include UD Almeria’s Largie Ramazani and Burnley’s Manuel Benson.

According to reliable journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Leeds are making notable progress in negotiations to sign Benson, who is described as “electric” and highly valued by the club.

Talks between Leeds and Burnley are reportedly underway for a permanent transfer, with Benson potentially set to leave Burnley after being an unused substitute in their first two matches of the season.

While Sunderland and Norwich are also interested in Benson, Leeds appear to be leading the race at the moment.

Journalist Ben Jacobs provided insight into why Daniel Farke is keen on Benson, emphasizing that Leeds have lost much of their goal-scoring threat with the departures of Summerville and Rutter.

Jacobs noted that Farke sees Benson as a player who can bring both creativity and regular goal contributions to the team.

Jacobs added, “Manuel Benson remains a strong candidate on Leeds’ radar. Farke is interested in adding more creativity and goal-scoring ability to his squad.

If Leeds pursue Benson, they may face competition from Norwich, especially if Rowe leaves and they intensify their efforts to sign Benson.”
