Leeds United are running out of time to bring the attacking reinforcements that Daniel Farke is desperate for. The club are in the market for forwards on the final day of the transfer window, but they don’t have time on their side and it seems they are also running out of targets.
Farke has made it abundantly clear that surviving in the Premier League will become an even bigger challenge for Leeds if they don’t bring in one or two attackers before the transfer window closes later this evening.
Leeds’ efforts to bring in forwards in the final few days have not gone according to plan. Facundo Buonanotte was expected to join last week, but Chelsea hijacked the deal at the last moment, and now he is heading towards Stamford Bridge.
Eduard Spertsyan, who has been on Leeds’ radar for a move late in the window, has ruled out leaving Krasnodar on deadline day, and Bilal El Khannouss is on his way to VfB Stuttgart after the German club reached an agreement over a fee with Leicester City on Sunday.
Can you name these 10 former Leeds United defenders?
PSV Eindhoven are in advanced talks to sign Leeds United target Gustavo Hamer
Gustavo Hamer’s future at Sheffield United is under the scanner on deadline day, and Leeds are among the clubs chasing him.
The Whites wanted to sign him last summer as well, and the club are poised to make a late move for him today, but they are running out of time.
According to journalist Pete O’Rourke, PSV Eindhoven are advancing in talks with Sheffield United to work out a deal to sign the attacking midfielder.

The Dutch giants have been monitoring him all summer and have now made a late move to try and take him to Eindhoven on deadline day.
Leeds remain interested, but they need to move fast if they want to sign Hamer, as PSV are now pushing to secure a deal for his signature in the coming hours.
The Whites are keen to bring in an attacking midfielder, and it remains to be seen whether they make a late move for the Sheffield United star in the coming hours.
Here we go yet again, missing out on more players because we can’t move faster than a snails pace.
