‘Leeds to move quickly to sign Gustavo Hamer’ as personal talks underway
Leeds United are one of several clubs to have shown an interest in signing Gustavo Hamer this summer.
The Dutch midfielder won the Championship’s Player of the Season award last term, after a string of game-changing displays for Sheffield United.
Leeds have shown a desire to bring Hamer to the Premier League this summer, and that seems like the next logical progression for his career after such a successful stint in the second tier.
Daniel Farke will know that his side will be up against it this term, but adding players like Hamer, who have proven quality, could be crucial in their bid for survival.
49ers must move quickly to beat PSV to Hamer transfer
Ruben Selles has already admitted that it will be hard for his side to keep Hamer this summer, and the Blades boss will surely be fearing the worst following the most recent update.
Leeds are far from the only team to be keen on the 28-year-old, and now it looks as though a move back to the Eredivisie could be about to present itself.
PSV Eindhoven, who can look forward to Champions League football next term after winning the league title, are now understood to be preparing an offer for Hamer, according to Sacha Tavolieri via X (17 July).
The Dutch giants have turned their attention towards the former Coventry City star, with personal talks already underway regarding a potential switch.
Leeds have been linked with Hamer for several consecutive transfer windows, but the 49ers must now act quickly if they are to have any hope of being able to snatch him away from PSV.
The prospect of Champions League football will be a huge attraction, but the Whites could still disrupt a deal if they can make the Premier League a realistic possibility instead.
Hamer would be an excellent replacement for Brenden Aaronson
Brenden Aaronson has been hotly tipped to depart Elland Road this summer, after another frustrating season last time out.
The American has struggled to perform on a consistent basis in English football, and Farke and Co. will surely be keen to try and replace him this summer.
Hamer could be the perfect man to provide a greater creative outlet for the West Yorkshire outfit.

He has the perfect balance between playmaking ability and a goal threat, but also possesses a willingness to compete that means he is essentially everything a manager could want from an attacking player.
Throw in the fact that he is capable of causing problems for defences either on the left flank or in a number 10 role, and Hamer would be a fantastic signing for Leeds.
They have had a difficult transfer window so far, but the 49ers will know exactly what they have to do on this occasion.
