49ers 'to amaze Daniel Farke at Leeds United' after Walker-Peters transfer news
Leeds United could potentially have their first summer signing for Daniel Farke in Southampton defender Kyle Walker-Peters.
The Whites have returned to the Premier League after a two-year absence, and fans will feel they need to bolster their squad next summer.
Farke will arguably want 49ers Enterprises to invest heavily in the upcoming transfer, and it'll be interesting to see how the West Yorkshire outfit go about their business in the coming months.
The Peacocks are keen to bring Walker-Peters to Elland Road in the upcoming transfer window, and they may now have an opportunity to seal a bargain deal.
Leeds United to seal bargain transfer soon as Walker-Peters to play final Southampton game
Walker-Peters will play his final game for the Saints on Sunday (25 May) at home against Arsenal, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Italian journalist revealed on X (25 May) that the 28-year-old has decided to leave the Saints as a free agent once his contract expires at the end of the season.
It's been claimed that the full-back is assessing all options as a decision on his future is yet to be made, giving the 49ers an incentive to seal a bargain transfer soon.

Farke will undoubtedly be amazed if the West Yorkshire outfit can pull off a deal before the upcoming transfer window opens.
The Whites have the chance to agree terms with the English defender, and his departure will arguably be music to Paraag Marathe's ears.
With several signings evidently needed to build a competitive squad at the Peacocks, they should consider signing someone like Walker-Peters as a free agent to save money for other transfers.
Farke will want Junior Firpo replacement at Elland Road
Junior Firpo's future at Elland Road is uncertain as the left-back's contract at Leeds expires in the coming weeks.
Farke could do with someone like Walker-Peters at the Whites, considering his versatility and ability to play on the right and left-hand side of the defence.
Sam Byram may also leave the West Yorkshire outfit at the end of the season, leaving the recruitment department with much work to do.
The Peacocks must be quick and efficient with their business next summer, as several other teams will undoubtedly look at signing the soon-to-be-leaving Southampton star.
