Leeds United now just need to officially announce Ilias Akhomach signing, deal all but done
Leeds United now just need to officially announce the signing of Barcelona wonderkid Ilias Akhomach with the deal all but done, according to Mundo Deportivo.
The Whites have long been linked with a move for the 18-year-old winger, with reports in Spain suggesting that a deal could be completed before the end of March.
And reports from LUFCFANZONE (16 March) and Spanish outlet Sport (17 March) suggested he was close to becoming a Whites player, but now all Leeds need to do is announce the signing with the deal all but done.
“In the absence of official confirmation, the former (Akhomach) goes to Leeds United”, as quoted by Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo [29 March]
Attacking options aplenty
Leeds director of football Victor Orta has certainly been the figure central to getting close to the finish line on the Akhomach deal and it’s totally understandable that the Spaniard will have confirmed the Whites’ interest in the Barca wonderkid
The West Yorkshire have been astute in their transfer business of late and now look to have added yet another young talent to their plethora of attacking options right now.
Akhomach is a bright young footballer, with the potential to become a future world-beater and Leeds United are certainly not short of those with Wilfried Gnonto, Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville also possessing similar potential ceiling as the Spaniard.
This is another move with the club’s future in mind, and it sure looks like a sensible move for the club as they aim to build with fledgling young talents or maybe this move is a proactive one with the likes of Gnonto and Jack Harrison attracting interest from elsewhere.
In other Leeds United news, the Whites may now be able to land a target they made an approach for in January with his club now waiting for £20million offer.
