While the specific identity of this player remains undisclosed, several high-profile figures have been linked to the club recently.
One such player is Callum Wilson, the 32-year-old Newcastle United striker. Wilson, who has scored 88 Premier League goals during his time with Bournemouth and Newcastle, is reportedly on a £110,000-per-week contract at St James’ Park. However, Leeds are interested in bringing him to Elland Road, though they would need to negotiate a significant pay cut to accommodate his wages within their structure. Wilson has made 114 appearances for Newcastle, scoring 49 goals and providing 11 assists.
Another potential target is Kalvin Phillips, the England international currently on loan at Ipswich Town from Manchester City. Phillips, who previously played for Leeds, is reportedly earning £150,000 per week at Manchester City. Leeds are considering a move to bring him back to Elland Road, with the player having made 234 senior appearances for the club before his departure.
Additionally, Leeds have been linked with Jonjo Shelvey, the Nottingham Forest midfielder earning £75,000 per week. Shelvey has fallen out of favor at Forest and could be available for a move. Leeds are reportedly considering a move for Shelvey, who has experience in the Championship and the Premier League.
While the club has not confirmed the identity of the £90,000-a-week player, these discussions indicate Leeds United’s intent to strengthen their squad with experienced Premier League talent as they aim for promotion and stability in the top tier.
