Godwin ObajeLeeds United are looking to strengthen their central midfield this summer, with Daniel Farke keen on adding quality players to the squad. One potential target is Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi, who has a £9 million relegation clause that has now been triggered due to the Foxes’ relegation from the Premier League. Ndidi would bring significant experience and quality to Leeds United’s midfield, having made 217 Premier League appearances and won several titles with Leicester City, including the FA Cup and Community Shield.
Ndidi’s skills and abilities make him an attractive target for Leeds United:
- Experience: Ndidi has extensive Premier League experience, which would be invaluable for Leeds United.
- Quality: He has consistently performed well for Leicester City, showcasing his ability to control the midfield and create scoring opportunities.
- Affordability: The £9 million transfer fee is relatively affordable compared to other top midfielders.
Other potential targets for Leeds United’s midfield include:
- Ao Tanaka: Leeds United are reportedly in advanced talks with Fortuna Dusseldorf to sign the Japanese midfielder, who has a release clause of £2.65 million.
- Francis Coquelin: The club has also invited former Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin for a trial, seeking to bolster their midfield options.
Leeds United’s transfer strategy this summer will be guided by Profit & Sustainability Rules, with Paraag Marathe emphasizing the club’s willingness to spend as long as they stay within these rules. With several key players lost in the summer transfer window, Farke will prioritize strengthening his squad to compete in the Premier League ¹ ² ³.
