Leeds United ‘serious’ about Tomas Soucek transfer as exit on cards
Leeds United may need more Premier League experience in their squad after clinching promotion, and Tomas Soucek is an option at Elland Road.
The West Ham United midfielder signed for the Hammers in 2020 and has since been a relatively key player for them.
Daniel Farke’s team are first in the Championship after beating Stoke City, and Sheffield United’s loss to Burnley on Monday (21 April) sealed the top two spots in the table.
49ers Enterprises evidently need to fund transfers at Elland Road to give the German manager the best chance of surviving the drop, and they already have one candidate on their radar.
Soucek wants Leeds United transfer if West Ham situation doesn’t change
Soucek would be tempted to join the Peacocks if his situation at West Ham doesn’t change, according to iDNES.
The news outlet reports (23 April) that the Czechia international could leave the Hammers if he continues to remain a substitute at the London Stadium.

It’s been claimed that the 30-year-old may be tempted to join the Whites amid interest from Elland Road.
The West Yorkshire outfit could potentially be a serious option for the former Slavia Prague midfielder, with his price tag not an issue for them.
Farke needs Premier League experience at Elland Road
Abdoulaye Doucoure’s move to Elland Road has been suggested to add more Premier League experience to the Whites’ squad.
The West Yorkshire outfit will evidently need more experienced players at their disposal as they return to the English top flight after a two-year exile.
As things stand, while the Peacocks have a decent squad, it arguably needs more quality to survive relegation next season.
Leeds will undoubtedly have a tough time in the Premier League, as highlighted by the struggles of Southampton and Leicester City in the current campaign.
If the Whites are reluctant to reinforce their squad next summer, they may have to drop down to the Championship once again.
The Elland Road faithful will want the American owners to ensure a solid foundation is laid at the West Yorkshire outfit to become an established Premier League side again.
While LS11 will rejoice for now, supporters will ask questions of the manager and the hierarchy if the upcoming campaign starts on the wrong foot.
