Igor Paixao has already made Premier League admission as Leeds transfer links re-emerge

Igor Paixao is on Leeds United's shortlist again this summer, with his former comments boosting their hopes.

The Peacocks have been actively looking to solve key issues within Daniel Farke's squad and so far have managed to do so.

Tarik Muharemovic helped fill the void left by Pascal Struijk's exit, while Harry Wilson has added much-needed output on the wings.

A move for James Trafford is still ongoing, fixing the problem that the Whites would have had between the sticks following Karl Darlow's exit.

But adding new names in attack is another key issue for the 49ers to solve.

Particularly providing more creativity to Farke's roster ahead of next season, and Paixao's past comments could hint towards his stance over a move.

What did Igor Paixao say about the Premier League as Leeds circle?

Leeds had wanted to sign him last season, but as MOT Leeds News has relayed, Paixao is back on Daniel Farke's radar.

The Whites are looking to add more creativity with a move for Julian Brandt failing to come to fruition.

Paixao could be another solution and it appears he would be keen to make the switch.

As relayed by GE Globo in 2022, making a move to the Premier League is a life goal the Brazilian winger wants to achieve.

He is quoted as saying: "The Premier League is a dream for me. Making it to the national team is another goal."

The Marseille winger has certainly done his best in order to make those dreams happen.

Over the last two seasons at Feyenoord and Marseille, he has contributed to 38 goals in 64 league appearances.

Paixao can clearly produce a strong level of attacking output.

How Raphinha could inadvertently help Leeds sign Paixao

To this day, Paixao has yet to earn a senior cap for Brazil, but he may look to the impact the Whites had on fellow national Raphinha.

The now-Barcelona star earned his inaugural call-up for the Selecao while playing his football at Elland Road.

The Premier League is one of the most watched and competitive leagues in the world, so when you perform to a high level, you do get noticed.

So, if a transfer for Paixao does go through, the Whites could very well help him secure two career achievements.

And at 26 years old, his chances to become a regular for the South American nation are beginning to slim, making his next career step all the more important.
