Leeds United has already started preparing their home for the possibility of playing Premier League football next season as the competition for automatic promotion heats up.

Leeds making room for fresh faces

Leeds has exploded into life and is attempting to move quickly up the league table after a difficult start to life back in the Championship. The Whites are currently seated in the spots designated for automatic promotion, and they are beginning to make plans for the upcoming season.

Leeds United plan to accept offer for versatile £50,000-a-week player

Yorkshire may have another busy summer.

According to recent sources, Cody Drameh, a full back, may have played his final game for the team. It seems certain that the defender, who is now on loan at Birmingham, will be let go when he returns to Elland Road this summer.

Ian Poveda and Sam Greenwood, two more Championship loanees, will follow Drameh. Both players, who are now on the rosters of Middlesbrough and Sheffield Wednesday, respectively, are surplus to requirements in West Yorkshire and are therefore available for purchase this summer.

Since the exits for this summer have already been scheduled, focus has shifted to the arrivals, with two Premier League players possibly scheduled to travel to Elland Road.

Leeds plan swoop for Premier League duo

Leeds is expected to go on a massive summer buying spree, and their first objectives are two players from the top flight, according to Team Talk. According to the source, the Whites are planning attempts to sign Sean Longstaff and Joe Rodon, who are both keen to come to West Yorkshire. Additionally, efforts are reportedly “being made” to guarantee Rodon’s permanent status.

In the meantime, Nick Hammond is touted as the Whites’ hidden weapon in their hunt for Longstaff. According to the publication, Hammond “may give Leeds an advantage in their pursuit of signing the player because he counts the Geordies among his former clubs.”

Longstaff of Newcastle is a player who has drawn interest from Leeds; the Magpies are reportedly seeking £15 million for the player. The midfield player made his Toon first team debut in 2018, but this season he has battled with a combination of injury and bad play.

The 26-year-old has maintained his status as a St James’ Park fan favourite despite his ups and downs. Newcastle would be inclined to cash in on Longstaff while they still have the opportunity, since his contract is scheduled to end in the summer of 2025.

 “What I like about him is that he has an old-school attitude, but he’s a perfect role model of a modern defender as well”.

“Because he is quick and good on the ball and you can defend with him on the high line. He has grown more and more into this role and he leads from the backline”.

According to earlier reports, Spurs are willing to let Rodon depart this summer, with the North London team seeking a price tag of between £12 million and £15 million. Adding Rodon to the team will provide Leeds with a top-tier player with Premier League experience, which will help them in their effort to advance.
