Another departure at Elland Road as The Whites are left with far less attacking power than they already had. Recently, Georginio Rutter verbally agreed to join Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.
The official announcement of the Frenchman leaving is due and is expected to be done within a few days. Another big transfer will be a big hit for Leeds United as they’ll have another player to replace with the summer window closing in two weeks.
The West Yorkshire outfit is yet to replace Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray and Glen Kamara. All of them left Elland Road for greener pastures this summer.
Although they did get in a lot of money for the club to spend. But, The 49ers are being too slow with the market set to close within two weeks. With two draws and one loss this season, the club is evidently with lesser firepower.
Many attackers have been linked with Leeds United but no major player has seen pen to paper. As Rutter packs his bags, the situation might change though as Daniel Farke and Co. might release they have limited time.

As United find reinforcements up front, another name has come up with links to Elland Road. According to Le Parisien’s Marc Mechenoua, Leeds United has shortlisted Swedish outfit Hammarby IF’s Jusef Erabi.
Jusef Erabi from Hammarby IF is on Norwich and Leeds shortlist. The asking price for the Swedish striker is €10 million. Discussions are ongoing and the clubs have been informed of the price tag.

According to the journalist, both Norwich City and Leeds United are interested in the young Swedish striker. The asking price is said to be £8.5 million.
It is highly unlikely that the Championship sides will meet Bajen at that price. Both clubs have been informed of the price tag and talks are ongoing.
The striker scored eight goals last season in 17 appearances. Those are decent numbers for a 21-year-old striker. In total, the Stockholm native has netted 37 goals in 114 appearances in his senior career.
With a weakened goal-scoring threat up front, United might look into this profile hoping to find the back of the net more times than they currently are.
Talks with other attackers are also ongoing as Leeds look to work double time with the summer window deadline inching nearer.
