Godwin ObajeLeeds United Aims for 10 New Signings in Summer Transfer Window
Leeds United is gearing up for a busy summer transfer window as they prepare to return to the Premier League. According to sources close to the club, the Whites are targeting 10 new signings to strengthen their squad and make a serious push for success in the top flight.
Chairman’s Commitment to Building a Strong Squad
Leeds chairman Paraag Marathe has confirmed that Daniel Farke will remain as manager into next season, and has pledged to build the best possible squad to compete in the Premier League. “Together we are going to build the best squad we can, with every penny we are allowed to spend to be competitive in the Premier League,” Marathe told BBC Radio Leeds.
Potential Departures and Loan Stars
As Leeds United looks to add new faces to their squad, they may also be saying goodbye to some players. Joshua Guilavogui, Sam Byram, and Junior Firpo are all out of contract next month, and loan stars Joe Rothwell and Manor Solomon will leave if permanent moves are not agreed. Solomon has impressed on loan at Leeds, scoring 10 goals in the 2024-25 season, and it’s likely the club will want to retain his services.
Goalkeeper Search
Leeds United is also on the hunt for a top-class goalkeeper to replace Illan Meslier, who has made several costly errors this season. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has revealed that the club is plotting a move for Wolves and England goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
Squad Overhaul and Expansion Plans
The Yorkshire giants are expected to undergo a major overhaul of their squad, with a number of new signings anticipated. This comes as the club plans for growth on and off the pitch, including a potential expansion of Elland Road. With all six promoted sides in the previous two seasons being relegated from the Premier League, Leeds United will be desperate to avoid the same fate.
Top Scorers
Leeds United’s top scorers in the 2024-25 season include ¹:
- Joel Piroe: 19 goals
- Dan James: 12 goals
- Manor Solomon: 10 goals
- Brenden Aaronson: 9 goals
- Wilfried Gnonto: 9 goals
As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Leeds United to see how they shape their squad for the challenges ahead. With a strong commitment from the chairman and a clear vision for the future, the Whites are looking to make a serious impact in the Premier League.
