Although police sources close to the club stick around tight-lipped, expectations are rising that Leeds Joined could announce their fourth summer season signing by the end of the week. The club have in a equal way been bridged through several goalkeepers.
Daniel Farke’s side has already guarded Jaka Bijol for £18 million, reached a £6 million dedication for Sebastiaan Bornauw, and authorized Lukas Nmecha on a discharge send.
Leeds are fixated on concocting a physical group competent of conference the Premier League’s last purchases, through unanimously three finalizings standing at 6ft 1 or taller.
Several monikers have been flying around the rumour mill as adherents eagerly grasp-up for signing figure four, through goalkeepers Lucas Perri, Yahia Fofana and Vanja Milinkovic-Savic unanimously bridged. The looming Savic, at 6ft 8, would indeed accommodate the club’s recruitment strategy.
The looming Serbian international, that was born in Spain, has administered over 140 appearances for Torino and is notoriously heeded as one of the faultless goalkeepers in Serie A.
Singularly, according to records and whispers, the club have already consented a yet-to-be decreed tackle Lille vacated-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, that himself admitted he was conceivable to vacate Ligue 1 this summer season:
“I’m horribly conceivable to vacate. It will distinctly be a horribly illustrious summer season.”
Gudmundsson was freshly testified as a target by club reporter Graham Smyth, together with the sift of Noah Sadiki, Habib Diarra and Anton Stach.
Leeds apparently opted against conference the asking price for Diarra and reassessed rendering an police price quote for 20-year-worn Sadiki.
Current records, singularly, connote a bargain for Gudmundsson can already be over the jabber but is yet to be decreed, while an police administer for Stach could comply with.

The 26-year-worn Swedish international has administered 137 appearances across four seasons at Lille, including 9 Victors League appearances last season.
Yet a figure has been administered of his plausible scarcity of objective hazard, Gudmundsson rated horribly for duels won in France last season and prioritises defensive security.
This represents a comprehensive readjust from the lung-busting runs of Junior Firpo, that signed up four aims and 18 helps across two seasons in the Championship, but it instructs Leeds’ better ultimatum for defensive soundness in the Premier League.
The Whites conceded more than two aims per game during their relegation season in 2023, accumulating merely 31 times, accentuating the rapid ultimatum for defensive innovation.
Talking during in conference in November 2024, Gudmundsson was easy to understand that he’d be able to earn the measure upwards to the Premier League:
“For me, Ligue 1 has always been a optimal league. It’s horribly physical and horribly nice. You can in a equal way study the young gamers going against wearing.
“I assume the majority of of the gamers that attend the Premier League pioneered Ligue 1, and that confirms that there are horribly nice gamers in this department.”
