Godwin ObajeLeeds United’s Ao Tanaka May Be on the Market
Leeds United’s Ao Tanaka has been a key player for the Whites this season, but his importance could diminish heading into the new campaign. With the club looking to secure promotion to the Premier League, manager Daniel Farke is reportedly prioritizing midfield reinforcements.
Recent links suggest Leeds are keen on adding quality to their squad, with high-profile midfielders such as Ethan Ampadu and Julian Weigl being mentioned. If Farke succeeds in signing one of these players, it could potentially push Tanaka down the pecking order.
With promotion to the Premier League almost secured, Tanaka may look to capitalize on his current form and seek a new adventure. The gulf in quality between the Championship and the Premier League has been evident, and Leeds will need to recruit well to ensure survival.
A win against Oxford United could put Leeds eight points clear of Sheffield United, effectively sealing promotion. As the club looks to the summer transfer window, addressing concerns over the playing squad will be crucial.
Farke’s priorities will be to strengthen the squad, and midfield signings could be a key part of that strategy. Tanaka’s future at Leeds United may depend on the club’s recruitment plans and his own ambitions.
