Godwin ObajeLeeds United Eyes Gus Hamer Transfer Raid
Leeds United is reportedly considering a move for Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer this summer, according to EFL pundit Lee Hendrie. The transfer would depend on the Blades’ league status, with Hendrie believing Leeds might make a move if Sheffield United fails to secure promotion through the play-offs.
Hamer’s Impressive Form
Hamer has been one of the top midfielders in the Championship, with nine goals and seven assists in 40 league appearances this season. His impressive form has attracted attention from interested clubs, and Hendrie thinks he could be a good addition to Leeds.
Leeds’ Previous Interest
Leeds United previously showed interest in Hamer last summer, but their £13m bid was rejected by Sheffield United. The Whites’ chiefs believed Hamer was worth around £20m, but they refused to go higher than their initial bid.
Potential Transfer Fee
If Leeds were to pursue Hamer again, Sheffield United would likely demand a similar or higher fee if they secure promotion. The potential transfer fee would be a significant factor in determining Hamer’s future.
Hendrie’s Assessment
Hendrie said, “Obviously (Leeds) were interested (in Hamer), and particularly if the Blades don’t go up, I think that is going to be the key factor, isn’t it?… He’s a very good player, and he has had a lot of clubs that were sniffing around him.”
Conclusion
Leeds United’s potential interest in Gus Hamer would depend on Sheffield United’s league status. If the Blades fail to secure promotion, Leeds might reignite their interest in the midfielder. However, the potential transfer fee and competition from other clubs would be significant factors in determining Hamer’s future.
