Leeds United can salvage summer window by turning Zion Suzuki failure into new double deal

Leeds United could potentially use Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki's rejection to their advantage.

The Whites have expressed interest in the Japan international, but it doesn't look like they will be able to sign him this summer.

As a result, the West Yorkshire outfit will surely be looking at alternative options in between the sticks and should turn to Southampton.

The Elland Road hierarchy are already working on signing Shea Charles this transfer window and might as well add Aaron Ramsdale to their shopping list.

Illan Meslier and Karl Darlow have become free agents, while Daniel Farke doesn't seem to trust Lucas Perri.

There's uncertainty around the goalkeeping department in LS11, but the Peacocks could find a solution at St Mary's Stadium.

How Leeds United can sweeten Shea Charles transfer offer

Southampton have rejected Leeds' offer for Charles, with the current bids not enough to sanction the midfielder's sale.

The latest £23million plus add-ons deal wasn't enough to convince the Saints to part ways with the 22-year-old Northern Ireland international.

What the West Yorkshire outfit could potentially do to push the deal over the line is agree a simultaneous deal for Aaron Ramsdale at Elland Road.

The former Arsenal ace has been linked with a move to the Peacocks in the past and Farke could do with someone of his quality at LS11 after Suzuki opted against a move to Leeds.

Southampton have signed Daniel Peretz permanently for around £6m after his initial loan move in the winter transfer window, and with the 25-year-old looking like the Championship side's new number one, they may be desperate to get Ramsdale's wages off their books.

Karl Darlow future clear after what he does at Elland Road

Darlow has put Leeds in a desperate situation regarding their goalkeeping department after failing to extend his deal before his contract expired.

There's uncertainty around the Wales international's future, but he's shown the Whites that he can't be trusted.

If the 35-year-old were committed to the cause at Elland Road, he wouldn't have hesitated to sign an extension.

The West Yorkshire outfit shouldn't look to convince Darlow any longer and should plan for a future without him after his recent antics.
