Leeds United are wasting no time getting ready for the Premier League. After winning the Championship, the 49ers have started looking for new players. One big name on their list is Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters.
He could join for free as his contract is ending next month.
Farke Stays, But Leeds Need Help
There were rumours that Leeds boss Daniel Farke could leave after the season. But the club chairman Paraag Marathe made things clear, Farke is staying.
He said Farke is the right man for the job and he believes in him. Now the club is ready to back Farke by signing new players.
Leeds have already been linked with Beto and Caoimhin Kelleher. These players could come from Everton and Liverpool, showing how serious Leeds are about building a strong squad.
But now, a new name is making headlines, Kyle Walker-Peters.
Leeds Talk to Kyle Walker-Peters
Reports say Leeds have already talked to Walker-Peters. The 27-year-old full-back is leaving Southampton, and many clubs want to sign him. Teams like West Ham, Tottenham, and Everton are also interested.
Even some clubs outside England are watching the situation.
It won’t be easy for Leeds to get him. But the 49ers are showing big ambition. Signing a Premier League-level player for free would be a smart move.
Walker-Peters can play both right-back and left-back, which would give Farke more options in defence.
He played 32 out of 36 games last season for Southampton. Even though his team did badly, Walker-Peters still showed his quality.
A Fresh Start for Walker-Peters?
Walker-Peters is likely looking for a fresh start. After a poor season with Southampton, he might want to prove himself again in the Premier League. Leeds could give him that chance.
And for Leeds, getting an experienced defender without spending money is a big win.
Farke needs better players if Leeds want to stay in the Premier League.
Walker-Peters could be one of those key signings. The 49ers are working hard, and fans will be hoping this deal gets done soon.
