Leeds United have their eye on this summer as they close in on Premier League promotion. After the problems with the squad this season, Daniel Farke and the club are set to act fast this year.
A huge win against Preston this weekend has now brought the Whites close to automatic promotion. Sheffield United’s loss also boosted their chances. Now, Leeds just need to navigate the final four games of the season to reach the English top flight.
The season is not over, but the Whites already have an eye on the summer transfer window.

This summer, the club will need to target a lot of quality players. Daniel Farke’s squad need prominent additions for next season. And with a very high chance of Premier League promotion, the Whites will have to target that calibre of players.
Graeme Bailey has reported that Leeds United are interested in Oliver Antman. The attacking midfielder is setting the Eredivisie alight this season. The Go Ahead Eagles star has 14 assists in this campaign, which is the most in the league.
Leeds have been tracking the 23-year old for several weeks, and are expected to compete with Sheffield United and Southampton for his signature this summer.
Oliver Antman could finally be the Georginio Rutter replacement
Leeds have lacked a creative number 10 since Georginio Rutter left the club. Daniel Farke even pushed to sign that profile of player but did not get a signing through the door. Brenden Aaronson has taken up the role this season, but he is far from suited to create for the team. Oliver Antman on the other hand, has shown his ability to create at a high level.

14 assists and 14 big chances created is a mark a Leeds player might not hit before the end of this campaign. He also has similar statistics as Rutter did last season. Leeds could really use with a creative force, considering the attack has been stale sometimes this year.
