With the transfer deadline fast approaching—set for Monday at 7 pm—Leeds United remain active in the race to sign Strasbourg’s promising winger, Dilane Bakwa. Earlier this window, Leeds were among a number of clubs, including Nottingham Forest and Fulham, linked with the 23‑year‑old attacker .
Although Leeds have not yet made a formal bid, reports indicate their interest remains solid. A recent article by MOT Leeds News highlights Bakwa as a potential “statement signing” needed to energize Leeds’ attack, placing him alongside targets like Gustavo Hamer as new arrivals the club could prioritize in the final stretch of the window .
However, challenges remain. Nottingham Forest’s proposal reportedly aligns more closely with Strasbourg’s valuation of €35 million—a figure Leeds would need to match or exceed to compete effectively . Fulham have also entered advanced discussions, potentially complicating Leeds’ path to securing the winger.
As the clock ticks down, Leeds will need to act decisively if they are to land Bakwa—otherwise, rival Premier League clubs may seal the deal first.
