£58m Leeds transfer blitz before deadline will clinch safety as Daniel Farke lines up next signing
Leeds have got off to a fine start in the Premier League as they look to avoid relegation.
Daniel Farke oversaw a 1-0 victory against Everton on Monday, and now the Peacocks will be looking to follow this up with another good performance at the Emirates.
Much of this can be put down to the West Yorkshire club’s spending, with nine new faces coming into Elland Road.
Leeds’ new signing Lukas Nmecha was just one player to make an instant impact on Monday, netting the winning goal from the spot.
However, Farke could yet be set to spend even more money before the transfer window is closed.
Daniel Farke is set to have £58m to spend on a full-back
In recent days, Farke has expressed his desire to sign a full-back at Leeds before the transfer window closes.
However, there have been concerns about how much money the Peacocks have, considering they have already signed nine players this summer.
Yet, it is believed that Leeds should have £58million to spend over the next few days.
- Farke has brought in nine new players this summer
- Leeds are looking to become the first promoted team in three years to avoid relegation
- Farke is keen to add a full-back to make this objective a reality
This could be huge for the West Yorkshire club, and should allow them to bring in a top full-back before the transfer window is out.
On top of this, it could allow Leeds to bring in one or two players in other positions that may need reinforcing, such as a striker.
Therefore, these funds, if spent, will prove to be the difference between relegation and survival this season.
Now, Farke just needs to ensure that this is done wisely.
Leeds to go all out for James Justin?
Leeds have been heavily linked with James Justin throughout recent weeks.
The full-back was part of the Leicester City side that were relegated but remained one of the standouts.
There were fears that Justin picked up an injury would could prevent a move to Leeds. However, this now appears to be a short-term knock.
Given how much Leeds have to spend, they might as well just go all out for Justin to ensure he moves to Elland Road before the transfer window closes.
