Leeds United press ahead with Conrad Harder transfer as £13.7m terms revealed
Despite a positive start to the season, Leeds United fans are on the lookout for new transfers.
It's been a high-profile window for the Whites, who have targeted quality over quantity, and it's worked a treat.
Daniel Farke has signed four new players, with Harry Wilson, James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Nico Elvedi arriving.
They've all already made a huge impact, too, with two wins already secured over Nottingham Forest.
Next up is Brentford on Sunday, with all eyes also on transfers as the deadline quickly approaches on 1 September.
Conrad Harder has been a surprise name to emerge this week, with the RB Leipzig striker seemingly available.
How Leeds can use Red Bull links for Conrad Harder
It's an obvious link to make, but competition is very high for the Denmark international in this final week.
That suggests that he has been made available.
La Gazzetta Dello Sport has now reported in its print edition that Leeds are in the race with Lazio and Galatasaray for Harder.
The newspaper states on 27 August that Leipzig are open to an intial loan with an option to buy at the end of it next summer.
Leeds are said to be among the most active.
It's stated that despite Harder being valued at £14.5million, he could be loan and bought for a total of £13.7m all in.
Where do Leeds United stand with strikers?
It isn't a new number nine they are looking for, but more competition for that spot up front.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is undisputed first choice, nobody argues with that, even Lukas Nmecha, who
Both have suffered heavily with injuries in the past, though, and with Joel Piroe leaving for West Ham, a spot is ready to be taken.
Harder is likely looking for a spark in his career, having quickly catapulted to Leipzig at only 21.
Also having Sporting CP on his CV, he's used to pressure clubs and Leeds would be no different in the Premier League.
Harder did have a £67m release clause in Portugal, so the potential and belief in his game has been there for some time already.
A loan suits Leeds given they have nobody temporarily right now, and it allows them to strengthen in several spots before Tuesday's deadline.
