Leeds United have entered the race to sign highly rated Swedish striker Jusef Erabi, with the Championship side reportedly keen on sealing a deal worth around £7 million. The 21-year-old currently plays for Hammarby IF and has emerged as one of the most exciting young talents in Scandinavian football.
Erabi enjoyed an impressive campaign last season, scoring consistently in Sweden’s Allsvenskan and drawing interest from multiple clubs across Europe. Known for his intelligent movement, aerial strength, and clinical finishing, he has also represented Sweden at U19 and U21 level, further enhancing his growing reputation.
Leeds’ renewed interest in the striker comes after the departure of Georginio Rutter, who recently completed a move to Brighton. With a gap now evident in the squad’s attacking depth, manager Daniel Farke is targeting Erabi as a potential long-term solution at the top of the pitch.
Reports suggest that Norwich City are also in talks with Hammarby, meaning Leeds will need to move quickly to secure his signature. The Whites are believed to be assessing multiple attacking targets, but Erabi’s blend of youth and proven goal-scoring ability makes him a standout option.
The deal is seen as financially viable for Leeds, who remain ambitious in their push for Premier League promotion. While there are questions about whether Erabi is ready for the physical demands of English football, his ceiling is considered high, and the club could view this as a smart investment.
Negotiations are ongoing, and while nothing has been finalised, Leeds fans will be hopeful that the club can pull off the signing of a young striker who could become a key figure in their promotion bid.
