Leeds United ready £25m+ Yegor Yarmolyuk transfer as approach made
Brentford midfielder Yegor Yarmolyuk could potentially sign for Leeds United this summer transfer window.
The 21-year-old signed for the Bees last summer and has since developed into one of the finest prospects in the Premier League.
Paraag Marathe must back Daniel Farke in the coming months and invest heavily to build a competitive squad at the Whites.
Joe Rothwell’s replacement will be needed at Elland Road unless the West Yorkshire outfit sign him permanently, and it looks like they already have a replacement on their radar.
Yarmolyuk transfer wanted by Leeds United as Premier League club make inquiry
An unnamed Premier League club have enquired about Leeds target Yarmolyuk, according to CaughtOffside.
The news outlet reports (11 June) that the Whites are keeping close tabs on the Ukraine Under-21 international this summer.

It’s been claimed that several teams are closely monitoring the 21-year-old, with Brentford valuing him a little over £25million.
While a formal approach hasn’t been made yet, it remains to be seen whether the West Yorkshire outfit ready a move for him at Elland Road.
49ers Enterprises must show ambition with Yarmolyuk transfer at Leeds
Josuha Guilavogui will leave Leeds in the coming weeks, and they’ll undoubtedly need to bolster their engine room this transfer window.
The Whites were forced to sign the Frenchman in October due to a lack of options in the middle of the park after injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
Farke can’t be left with a lack of depth in his squad for next season, as it may have significant implications for the West Yorkshire outfit in the Premier League.
Leeds have been linked with Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra, but Yarmolyuk seems like the better signing.
The Ukrainian midfielder has shown his qualities in the English top flight, solidifying his importance in Thomas Frank’s plans towards the end of the season at Brentford.
If the Whites have hopes of avoiding immediate relegation from the Premier League, they arguably need players with sufficient experience of the challenges that come with playing in the top flight.
The 21-year-old appears to be the right profile of player that 49ers Enterprises should target and reinforce Farke’s chances of success next season.
