Leeds United have on eye on the summer transfer window as the club plan for Premier League promotion. Daniel Farke recently said that he is 100% confident that the Whites will be promoted this season.

There is a fiercer competition for promotion with five games remaining. Midway through the week, Leeds regained their position at the top of the table. With the lone goal from Dan James, Farke’s team took all three points from Riverside Stadium. It was difficult for Leeds to win after three consecutive draws, but they eventually defeated Middlesbrough.

Now the club is very close to getting promoted. For Leeds to stay out of the playoffs, they will need to secure one of the two automatic promotion berths. Last summer, when the Whites fell to Southampton in the play-off final, their hearts were crushed.

Leeds United battle Hull City for star midfielder

Given the team’s performance this season, Leeds will undoubtedly be watching the summer transfer window. The team has persevered and is now close to promotion despite having a diminished roster for the majority of the season due to injuries. After this season, Daniel Farke may decide to give up on his preference for a small group.

According to the Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, Austria Vienna midfielder Abubakr Barry is being actively watched by Leeds United and Hull City. This season, the Gambian international has made headlines since joining the Austrian team. The 24-year-old relocated to Switzerland last year following a stellar time at Bnei Yehuda.

According to reports, clubs in Germany and France are showing interest in Barry, who has one year remaining on his contract in Austria. This season, the midfielder scored in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying tournament.
