Daniel Farke on agenda as 49ers representatives to jet in for crunch Leeds United talks
Daniel Farke has split opinion massively at Leeds United this season.
Leeds United will play West Ham at Elland Road on Friday, in the hopes of getting back to winning ways in the Premier League.
It has been a difficult few weeks for the Whites, who have lost to Burnley and Tottenham in their last two league fixtures.
But Leeds are the favourites against West Ham, with representatives of the 49ers Enterprises jetting in for crunch talks ahead of attending the fixture.
Ethan Ampadu and Pascal Struijk are doubts against West Ham, after Farke confirmed that the pair had missed training this week due to illness.
49ers to fly from the United States for key Leeds talks
It has been suggested that Farke could be sacked by Leeds in the coming months, with the German’s team struggling to adapt to the Premier League.
The Whites have endured a difficult run of fixtures, but would have hoped for more than just three points from matches against Wolves, Fulham and Burnley.
West Ham will provide a further chance to get points on the board; however, the Hammers in serious trouble already under new boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
Before the game, however, a meeting with representatives of the 49ers will take place at Elland Road, the Mirror reported on Thursday.
Paraag Marathe will be in attendance for the talks, which will likely centre around the progress of the team under Farke, the budget for the winter transfer window, and the plans to renovate Elland Road.
Daniel Farke will be under pressure to deliver against West Ham
With the decision-makers capable of ending his time at Leeds watching on, Farke will hope his team can deliver against West Ham on Friday.
The Hammers’ woes present the Whites with a perfect opportunity to mark a confidence-boosting result in the Premier League.
| Leeds United – next five | Date |
| West Ham (H) | 24 Oct |
| Brighton (A) | 1 Nov |
| Nottingham Forest (A) | 9 Nov |
| Aston Villa (H) | 23 Nov |
| Manchester City (A) | 29 Nov |
But Nuno’s side still carries some danger, with the ruthless finishing of Jarrod Bowen always a cause for concern.
It will be up to Farke’s men to keep the forward quiet, however, and give the Elland Road faithful, and the 49ers, a reason to believe this season can be a positive one.
