Leeds boss Daniel Farke is ready to make it clear to club bosses that the club should reject any approaches for in-form defender Pascal Struijk this summer and instead move to tie the star down to a new deal, while big claims have also been made over four electric signings the Whites are planning of their own.Struijk is one of Leeds’ longest serving players and is one of two survivors in the squad from the Marcelo Bielsa era, with out-of-favour goalkeeper Illan Meslier the other. Having made 193 appearances for the Whites, Struijk has been a model of consistency for Leeds this season, thriving in their 3-5-2 formation, though not always getting the acclaim he deservesNonetheless, that has not dampened interest in Struijk, and sources exclusively revealed to TEAMtalk transfer correspondent, Fraser Fletcher, at the start of the month that the 26-year-old was emerging as a bona fide target for three Premier League sides this summer, with Aston Villa leading the chase and plotting a big-money summer swoop.
