Leeds United are completely focused on improving a squad that defied expectations last season and finished 14th in the Premier League table.
Daniel Farke and the recruitment team are in constant touch as the club push to bring in upgrades for several areas of their squad that could take the team to the next level.
Leeds want to sign ‘difference makers’ in the upcoming transfer window as they believe the club have a solid base to build from following the arrival of 10 players last summer.
The club are also keen to bring in more young talents, and Fabrizio Romano has now dropped an update on a young player Leeds have been tracking this summer.
Fabrizio Romano drops a Jeremy Monga update
Jeremy Monga was one of the only shining lights in Leicester City’s dreadful season, where they suffered relegation to League One from the Championship.
The 16-year-old winger is considered a huge talent, and he is almost certain to move on from the King Power Stadium in the upcoming transfer window.
Leeds are amongst the Premier League clubs who are interested in taking advantage of Leicester’s situation and snare away Monga this summer.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Arsenal are the club who are carrying out all the legwork to sign the teenage sensation in the upcoming transfer window.
The Premier League champions are pushing to advance a deal with Leicester and the player’s representatives over a transfer.
Talks are ongoing between the clubs and his camp, and Arsenal now have the edge in the race to sign Monga in the upcoming transfer window.
Leeds have been interested in the teenager, and it remains to be seen whether they make a concrete offer for the winger in the coming weeks.
The Whites may have to look at other targets
Leicester City’s relegation to League One has presented clubs with a huge opportunity to sign a young player whose value is set to soar in the coming years.
Leeds got involved in the race as well, but the arrival of clubs such as Arsenal is almost certain to end any chance of the Whites signing Jeremy Monga.
The teenager would prefer a move to the Premier League champions over joining Leeds, who are yet to become an established Premier League club.
Leeds may need to turn their attention elsewhere, with the player increasingly expected to join either Arsenal or another of the Premier League’s heavyweight clubs.
