Leeds in last-ditch Gus Hamer swoop moments before deadline, ‘official bid’ claim made
Gus Hamer has been linked with a late, late move to Leeds United.
With the transfer window now shut, Leeds fans face an anxious wait to see if the Whites were able to conclude any late business.
Harry Wilson’s move to Elland Road is in doubt, though it is yet to be revealed whether a deal sheet has been submitted.
In a dramatic turn of events, news has emerged of a potential deal for Hamer, who has been linked with Leeds all summer.
Leeds may have submitted a late bid to sign Gus Hamer
It has been a day of failure for Leeds.
Emi Buendia’s proposed move to Elland Road fell through before it even gained legs, while Manor Solomon looks set to leave Spurs for a move to Crystal Palace.
It was looking like it would be Wilson or bust for Leeds, though that may not be the case.
According to Sheffield United journalist Danny Hall on X, he has heard some noise around Leeds having made a move to sign Hamer, though it is unknown whether an “official bid” has been submitted for the Dutchman.
Hamer was linked with Leeds while he was at Coventry, and those links have refused to go away ever since.
After a winless start to the Championship campaign, Hamer may well have been assessing his options, with another update on his future sure to emerge very soon.
Leeds have until 9pm if deal sheet submitted
Now, we wait.
Illan Meslier has been linked with a last-minute exit from Leeds, while supporters will be biting their nails to hear any updates on Wilson and Hamer.
If the late approach to the Blades star is true, it can only be assumed that the former is no longer on his way to Elland Road, but as always at this stage in the window, the unexpected can happen.
If the “noise” proves to be true, it would be a remarkably late piece of business, though one that will slightly raise the optimism levels at Leeds after an underwhelming transfer window.
