Leeds United are pushing to secure targets in the final weeks ahead of the new season. The 49ers have been able to bring in two permanent signings so far.

Per reports, the club had planned more moves before the trip to the US, but they did not materialize.

Harry Wilson and Tarik Muharemovic have already featured in pre-season games, and have shown flashes of quality. Wilson will inject some quality in attack, while Muharemovic comes in to replace Pascal Struijk.

Leeds have been pursuing other targets as they hope to bolster the squad before their first game against Nottingham Forest.

Sky sources believe that the 49ers could add up to six new signings ahead of the transfer deadline. The team will target goalkeepers, a fullback , a midfielder, an attacking midfielder and a striker.

West Ham keen on move for former Leeds United star

At the end of last season, some shocking news emerged that Leeds United were keen on a reunion with Crysencio Summerville.

The winger was coming off the back of a stunning season with West Ham, even though the Hammers were relegated. Sadly, nothing came of the plans and the Dutchman joined Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.

After losing Summerville, the London club will look to a former Leeds player to replace him.

Journalist Luca Bendoni is reporting that West Ham are keen to launch a move for Manor Solomon this summer. The Spurs winger is believed to want out of Spurs after not being in the club’s plans for this season.

Solomon has been briefly linked with a return to Elland Road, but nothing has been confirmed by club sources.

The winger scored the goal on the final day of the season to help the Whites lift the Championship title. Bendoni is reporting that the talks are at an early stage, and West Ham will know if a deal is possible in the next few days.

Leeds want another winger this summer

Per Sky Sports, the 49ers are after a winger who can also play in attacking midfield.

Igor Paixao has been one of the names strongly linked with a move to Elland Road, but it remains to be seen if a deal can be completed. Last season was one to forget for the current Leeds wingers.

Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto were poor, and combined for just one league goal.

Summer signing Noah Okafor brought a lot of quality into the team and in front of goal. If Leeds are able to grab another winger with his level of production, the team will massively improve.
