Daniel Farke clearly holds Leeds United transfer keys as Hidemasa Morita wait continues
Daniel Farke could help Hidemasa Morita fulfil his dream at Leeds United.
The Japan international has always wanted to play in the Premier League and hopes to do so now after leaving Sporting CP as a free agent.
While the Whites have been linked with a move for the 31-year-old midfielder, they are yet to make an offer.
Morita was viewed as a market opportunity at Elland Road, but his move to Leeds now clearly lies in Farke's hands.
The Whites have plenty of options in the engine room right now and their focus is on strengthening other areas of the pitch.
With the Japan star waiting to clarify his future this summer, the German manager may hold the keys regarding a potential move to England.
Daniel Farke targets three specific positions at Leeds United
Farke has redefined his priorities since the initial interest in Morita mainly due to the options already at his disposal
For now, the former Sporting CP star's hope of playing in the English top flight looks far from becoming a reality, with France looking like his most likely destination.
According to A Bola on 9 July, the West Yorkshire outfit's attention has shifted to signing a new goalkeeper, striker and left-back in the coming weeks.
Harry Wilson has been confirmed as the Peacocks' first summer signing and Farke seems to have a clear plan of who he wants next.
Hidemasa Morita can still hold Elland Road transfer hope
Leeds are yet to secure a breakthrough in their pursuit of Shea Charles from Southampton, with the Saints valuing him at £30million.
There's still a long way to go in getting a deal over the line for the 22-year-old midfielder and if the Whites can't sign him, they may turn their attention to Morita as a short-term solution.
The West Yorkshire outfit clearly have ambitions of building a competitive squad capable of pushing further up the table next season.
The Japanese national would add experience and nous to the Peacocks' midfield for free, but it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
It's over to Farke, now.
