Leeds weighing swoop for a “magic” star of 20 million pounds sterling

Leeds United are on the market to make other additions to their first team team to strengthen their options through the park before their Premier league campaign.

The whites made their first signature of the dead earlier this month when they finished a free transfer for the German international of Lukas Nmecha, who will officially join his contract with Wolfsburg at the end of this month.

Since the start of the 2023/24 campaign, the 26 -year -old central center has marked Five goals in 24 appearances For Wolfsburg in all competitions, including three goals in 19 Bundesliga games this season.

The new white striker could compete with Joel Piroe, Patrick Bamford and Mateo Joseph for a place in the departure XI, as well as any other new number that the club opted.

Nmecha will not be the only player signed by the championship champions before the closing of the summer transfer window, the beginning of September.

Leeds has been linked to many different attack players from the internal and abroad market, and Brighton & Hove Albion Playmaker Facundo Buonanotte is a name that has been mentioned as a target.

Why Leeds may want to sign Buonanotte

It was reported earlier this month that Leeds was entrusting an agreement of 30 million pounds sterling To sign the attacking midfielder, but there has been no update on this situation since the initial report.

Buonanotte passed the 2024/25 campaign on loan to Leicester City in the Premier League and drew attention with promising performances, despite their relegation to the championship.

As you can see in the table above, it was more impressive than Brenden Aaronson was in his season in the Premier League with Leeds, which suggests that he could provide an upgrade on this Daniel Awake Currently in post number ten.

Who came after the left foot magician scored three goals And provided a decisive pass in 27 appearances in the division of the previous season, which shows that it improved during his stay at the King Power Stadium.

Leeds may therefore want to sign the 20 -year -old starlet because he has already presented his qualities, both as a premier League marker and creator, and could improve Farke options in the middle of the park.

However, the whites would have now watched another couple of attacked midfielder options, and one of them, in particular, could be even better than Buonanotte.

Leeds weighing movements to attack the fields in the field

According to journalist Graeme BaileyLeeds wishes to sign one of the Gustavo Hamer of Sheffield United and Emiliano Buendia d’Aston Villa in the summer transfer window.

Speaking to Leeds United NewsBailey said: “What we see in role No. 10 is that Leeds can be picky. There is no need to jump with both feet on a hamer or buendia.

“They weighed options, but I firmly believe that Leeds will sign a n ° 10 and I also believe that the horses are these two. It will be one of them and we know that Farke loves them both.”

The whites lean to go for Buendia or Hamer to strengthen their options in the position of attacker midfielder, and Cauughtoffside recently reported that the first is estimated at 20 million pounds sterling by Aston Villa.

With all this information in mind, Farke should put pressure for the West Yorkshire’s outfit increases the Villans broken down because it would be an even better option than Buonanotte.

Why should Leeds sign Emiliano Buendia

Buendia is a proven interpreter of the Premier League who is experienced, but who also has many years ahead of him to give the Whites for many years of quality performance.

The 28 -year -old playmaker has Produced ten goals And 15 assists, and created 25 “big chances”, in 121 high -end English appearances for Norwich City and Aston Villa Combined, which shows that he knows how to provide objectives and assists at this level.

He also has Played 121 times For Farke during their stay together in Norwich, playing every match for the Canaries with him in charge, and delivered 24 goals and 41 assists.

His best season in a Yellows shirt came in the 2020/21 championship campaign under the German head coach, while he accumulated 15 goals and 16 assistsas well as 18 “big chances” created on the second level.

The Argentinian international, which was once rented as “magic” By analyst Liam Henshaw, knows how to play in the Farke system, with his style of play, and has shown that he can be incredibly effective at the top of the field.

As you can see in the table above, Buendia had an extremely influential influence in possession of practically all possible ways, to score goals, create chances, help goals, progress with passes, bring the ball into the last third and bring the ball into the penalty area.

This suggests that it could be a much more effective option for Leeds in the last third than Buonanotte, who failed to deliver more than Six goals or three assists In a single season of his career to date.

Buendia, who scored two goals and created two “big chances” 11 Bundesliga appearances On loan to Bayer Leverkusen this season, could hit the ground as an offensive midfielder who knows the Premier League and Farke.

While Buonanotte did not work with Leeds head coach in the past and may need time to adapt to the system and how to work, which is why the villa attacker could be a much better option for whites while they are looking to start strong in their offer to avoid relegation.
