Leeds United are a favorite to secure promotion to the Premier League this 2024-25 season. As a result, it comes as no surprise that The Whites have players of high quality and transfer value.
Even though Leeds have parted ways with Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, and Georginio Rutter, the club still has players with considerable transfer value who, if made available, other teams would be willing to pay a hefty price for.
As a new Championship season is underway, Transfermarkt (h/t Sunderland Echo) has assembled a starting 11 of the most valuable players in the league. Five Leeds players are in the squad, including taking up all the positions in the forward group.
Who are the most valuable players at each position in the Championship?
So, who are the Leeds stars and other players who make up the squad? Here’s the entire team along with their transfer value.
GK: James Trafford – Burnley (€18 million) CB: Anel Ahmedhodzic – Sheffield United (€18 million) CB: Callum Doyle – Norwich City (€15 million) RB: Trai Hume – Sunderland (€7 million) LB: Junior Firpo – Leeds United (€5 million) CM: Ethan Ampadu – Leeds United (€16 million) CM: Aaron Ramsey – Burnley (€15 million) CM: Gustavo Hamer – Sheffield United (€15 million) RW: Wilfried Gnonto – Leeds United (€16 million) LW: Manor Solomon – Leeds United (€13 million) ST: Joel Piroe – Leeds United (€14 million)
Leeds will be the team to watch to see if these players listed on the attack make an impact on the pitch. Daniel Farke and his team lost many goals with the departures of Summerville and Rutter, so these three names could see their value rise with good campaigns.
Gnonto is in the news this week as a report on Friday noted that two clubs in Serie A are eyeing the winger to bolster their attack in the January transfer window.
According to Milan Live, newly promoted Parma are eyeing the 20-year-old because they still need wing reinforcements. Moreover, Genoa is the other Serie A side keen on Gnonto due to the lack of depth options in generating offense.
