A player once high on Leeds United’s radar has officially begun a new chapter, making his debut for a different club this weekend. Despite being closely monitored by the Whites throughout the early summer window, the highly-rated talent opted to take his career in a different direction, featuring prominently in his new team’s opening pre-season fixture.
The 22-year-old winger, known for his pace and direct style, had been shortlisted as part of Leeds’ recruitment strategy under Daniel Farke. However, negotiations stalled due to financial terms and increased competition from other European sides. Ultimately, his current club moved quickly to finalize a deal, and he now appears fully integrated into their setup after an encouraging debut performance.
Leeds United, who remain active in the market, may now be forced to shift focus to alternative wide options as they look to bolster the squad ahead of a promotion push. While missing out on this target is a setback, sources inside Elland Road believe the club has other strong candidates in place.
