Jayden Bogle ‘to seal Gus Hamer signing at Leeds’ after agent reveal
Jayden Bogle may have a small part to play in Leeds United’s recruitment this summer amid links to Gus Hamer.
Leeds United have a lot of work to do this summer, and with Daniel Farke said to have a budget of £150million, they certainly have the tools to succeed.
A whole host of players have been linked with the move to Elland Road, and one of those deals could see Bogle reunited with a former teammate of his.
Hamer has been a Leeds target for some time now, and the latest reveal ahead of the summer window could prove to be a decisive one.
Leeds may sign Hamer this summer
Leeds went toe-to-toe with Sheffield United in the Championship last season, right up until the final run where the Whites sealed promotion while the Blades fell to a play-off final defeat to Sunderland.
As a result of that, several Sheffield United stars have been mooted for potential exits, with Hamer linked with a move to Leeds.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Championship | 41 | 9 | 7 |
| Championship play-offs | 3 | 1 | 1 |
Of course, Bogle and Hamer both played together at Bramall Lane, which may already provide Leeds with the upper hand in the race to sign him, but a report from the Mail Online now states that the duo also share the same agent.
Given the success Bogle has found at Elland Road, his agent may look to replicate that with Hamer, who, at 28 years old, will be keen to get back playing in the Premier League as early as possible.
Farke needs to be backed this summer
Leeds will have to defy all odds if they are to survive in the Premier League next season, and how they recruit will have a huge say as to how they fare in their attempts.
Hamer, having won the Championship Player of the Year award, would be a great addition, though the Whites will need an injection of fresh quality all over the pitch.
The signings of a striker will be high up on their list of priorities, as will a goalkeeper, ahead of what promises to be a busy summer period.
