Marathe ‘to ask for Red Bull favour at Leeds United’ for Promise David transfer
Leeds United may have a Red Bull ace up their sleeves as Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David is wanted at Elland Road in the upcoming transfer window.
The Whites are planning for their return to the top flight after a two-year absence, as Daniel Farke’s team won the Championship title.
Joel Piroe shouldered the attacking burden at Elland Road, winning the golden boot in the league with 19 goals.
With the West Yorkshire outfit undoubtedly set to face challenges next season, they have their eyes on David to help them in the Premier League, and could potentially have to ask Red Bull for a favour.
Leeds United may ask Red Bull to pull favour as Paris FC want David transfer
Paris FC have joined the race for David’s signing ahead of next summer, according to Footmercato.
The news outlet reports (23 May) that the French outfit have made the 23-year-old centre-forward their priority for the upcoming transfer window.
It’s been claimed that the Ligue 2 outfit, who will be playing in the top flight next season, aren’t afraid of the competition for the Canadian striker’s signature.

Red Bull own a stake in the Parisian club and the Whites, which could potentially be something Paraag Marathe may use in his favour.
The West Yorkshire outfit undoubtedly will plan to strengthen their squad as they return to the Premier League, and if David is someone they truly want, 49ers Enterprises should use their links at Paris FC.
It would make sense for the Peacocks to ask the French outfit to leave the race for the 23-year-old and come to some sort of agreement.
Farke must demand quick transfer business at Elland Road
Farke will arguably already be preparing at Leeds for next season, as doubts have been raised over his suitability in the top flight.
There was speculation around the German manager’s future at Elland Road due to his past failures with Norwich City in the Premier League.
The 48-year-old head coach will want to prove his critics wrong, but that would undoubtedly require backing from the 49ers in the upcoming transfer window.
Whether David is someone the Whites sign in the coming weeks remains to be seen.
