Leeds United ‘given transfer green-light’ as Willem Geubbels breaks silence
Leeds United could potentially go ahead and sign St Gallen striker Willem Geubbels in the upcoming transfer window after what’s been said.
Daniel Farke needs reinforcements at Elland Road after winning Premier League promotion, and a centre-forward should be on the Whites’ agenda next summer.
Paraag Marathe publicly backed the German manager after speculation about his future, and the American owners must now show their support by heavily investing in the squad.
Geubbels is being eyed at Elland Road, and the 23-year-old Frenchman has broken his silence regarding his future.
Geubbels to discuss transfer offers amid Leeds United interest
Geubbels is willing to discuss any transfer offers amid interest from the West Yorkshire outfit.
The striker revealed that he isn’t sure what he wants to do in the coming months, but he’s willing to consider offers.

| Swiss Super League | 30 | 13 | 3 |
With the 23-year-old open about his future, the Elland Road hierarchy could potentially be able to green-light the French national’s transfer next summer.
Speaking to Berliner Kurier (14 May), the centre-forward said: “My contract runs until 2027. Let’s see what happens. Offers? At the moment, I don’t know exactly what I’m really interested in. If there are offers, we’ll discuss it.”
Joel Piroe needs support at Elland Road
Joel Piroe won the Championship Golden Boot this season after scoring 19 goals, but he’ll arguably have a tough time replicating those numbers in the top flight.
Wrexham want Patrick Bamford after winning promotion to the Championship, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Englishman leave the Whites in the upcoming transfer window.
Mateo Joseph was given a run of games at the start of the campaign, but the Spanish forward hasn’t lived up to expectations at Elland Road.
Leeds evidently need a new number nine soon, but arguably also need to bolster other areas of the pitch.
With the West Yorkshire outfit’s backline needing more depth and the goalkeeping department needing change, 49ers Enterprises must be ready to spend big soon.
Geubbels started his career in some top teams in France before joining St Gallen, where he’s found his feet.
While the 23-year-old hasn’t established himself as a prolific goalscorer, he’s shown great potential in the Swiss Super League, making the Whites’ interest understandable.
Whether the Peacocks will make a move for the Frenchman next summer remains to be seen.
