Leeds keen on signing “fantastic” attacker who rejected them in the summer
Leeds United are now well-placed to sign a “fantastic” player who rejected them in the summer transfer window, according to ex-scout Mick Brown.
Leeds on the march under Farke
Leeds are showing no signs of slowing down in their pursuit of promotion from the Championship, after a remarkable first half of the season, but Daniel Farke will be well aware just how difficult it will be to fend off the likes of Burnley and Sheffield United.
As such, Farke may look at strengthening his squad this January, and there have been reports that he is eyeing a move for Sporting CP’s Dario Essugo to bolster his options in central midfield.
The promotion hopefuls are also looking at Premier League players to strengthen their squad, with Nottingham Forest defender Andrew Omobamidele believed to be of interest amid a lack of game time at the City Ground.
With Aston Villa attacker Louie Barry on the radar, it is clear that Farke is keen on strengthening in a number of areas this winter, and Barry is not the only Villa player that Leeds are interested in.
In a recent interview with Football Insider, Brown has stated that he believes Emiliano Buendia is once again of interest to the Whites, despite the midfielder rejecting a move to Elland Road back in the summer.
Brown said: “He turned down the move in the summer because it was a step down. But from where he is at the moment, it would be a step up because he isn’t playing.
