Callum Wilson transfer to Leeds United on cards as guarantee emerges
Callum Wilson may lead the line at Elland Road next season as Leeds United make plans for the upcoming transfer window.
Daniel Farke’s team will play Premier League football in the upcoming campaign after a two-year absence from the top flight.
The German manager built a free-scoring team in the second division, as the West Yorkshire outfit ended with 95 goals in the league, but they’ll arguably need more firepower after promotion.
Wilson has been linked with a move to Elland Road as the Peacocks look to bolster their attack, and the England international with nine caps could potentially be in LS11 soon.
Leeds United confident of Wilson transfer as game time guaranteed under Farke
Wilson could be tempted to sign for the Whites next summer as game time under Farke would be guaranteed, according to The Sun.
The news outlet reports (27 May) that the West Yorkshire outfit are confident of luring the 33-year-old to Elland Road in the coming weeks.

It’s been claimed that while Newcastle United have decided against taking up their one-year option to extend the centre-forward’s contract, which expires soon, they’ve offered him fresh terms on reduced wages.
The Peacocks are hopeful the English striker’s singing could be on the cards, and it will be interesting to see how the saga unfolds.
Farke needs reliable striker at Elland Road after Premier League promotion
Joel Piroe was Farke’s talisman this season, winning the Golden Boot in the Champions after scoring 19 goals.
The Dutch centre-forward has done well in LS11 recently, but it remains to be seen whether he can replicate his form in the top flight.
Patrick Bamford could move to Wrexham in the upcoming transfer window as the Welsh outfit secured promotion to the Championship.
While Leeds have Mateo Joseph on their books, the Spanish national has been underwhelming at Elland Road.
Farke gave the 21-year-old striker several opportunities at the start of the campaign, but he failed to take those chances and dropped down the pecking order.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Joseph leave next summer, which could affect the Whites’ depth up front.
The West Yorkshire outfit should invest in a reliable goalscorer, and while Wilson is highly experienced, his consistent injury issues in recent months aren’t encouraging.
Paraag Marathe and 49ers Enterprises may have a massive squad overhaul to oversee soon.
