Following the victory at Home Park, Farke commended his team, saying:

We didn’t quite have our finest game of the season. The timetable is unforgiving. It was crucial to add one more clean sheet and an excellent [defensive] showing. We had a great start to the match.However, there were also one or two instances during the game where we needed to maintain our strength and deny them any opportunities.

“Well merited, but a tough battle. Especially with today’s clean sheet, I’m feeling fairly proud. the team that has triumphed here since October.

Over the summer, Leeds, Farke, and the 49ers Enterprises will hopefully be getting ready for a return to the Premier League, and it appears that the German has his sights set on a player he recently signed with Norwich City.

Leeds make £6m offer for new winger

Leeds United “recently made an official offer” in the neighbourhood of €7 million (£6 million) to sign Besiktas winger Milot Rashica, according to Turkish publication Takvim. This was disclosed within the previous 48 hours. Whether the bid was made in January or after the window closed in hopes of securing a summer deal is not specified.

Unfortunately, Besiktas’ management declined the offer, stating that “we are aiming for the championship in the new season.” Rashica is a vital player who can guide us towards achieving this objective.”

As previously stated, Rashica has prior experience working for Farke; prior to his dismissal, he made 12 appearances at Carrow Road under the now-Leeds manager in 2021/22.The winger was formerly praised by Farke, who said:

“Milot Rashica performed admirably in our opening games, but he struggled during the preseason and had an incredible amount of work to do during the international break.“On Wednesday night he played for Kosovo in Spain and had to work a lot playing against the ball for ninety minutes and then travel back to England and then travelling the three-and-a-half hours to London. He was a bit tired and needed to have a break.”

As we all know, Leeds already has a lot of excellent wingers in Yorkshire, including Dan James, Wilfried Gnonto, and Crysencio Summerville. If any of the three were to go, Rashica might be considered as a replacement.

Following his departure from England, Rashica played for Galatasaray and Besiktas, making 56 games and scoring more than 20 goals. Leeds, however, may need to increase their offer significantly over the next few months if they hope to sign the 27-year-old for Elland Road this summer because his contract doesn’t expire until 2027.
