Leeds United want to seal transfer of award-winning Spanish winger
Leeds United are reportedly keen on adding a winger to their ranks as promotion to the Premier League has been sealed.
While doubts remain about Daniel Farke’s position at Elland Road, the San Francisco 49ers are preparing a list of potential transfers once the window opens.
The Whites mathematically secured promotion along with Burnley earlier this week, with Sheffield United contending for the playoffs.
Borja Sainz on Leeds’ radar this summer
Norwich City forward Josh Sargent has been linked with a move to Elland Road, but he’s not the only Cannaries player who’s liked by the West Yorkshire club.
According to Graeme Bailey, the Whites are also keen on Norwich winger Borja Sainz, who has thrived at Carrow Road.

Since moving to Norwich from Giresunspor, he’s been a first-team regular for them and has been among the goals and assists.
Despite Leeds having a number of wingers, they appear to be keen on signing more as they aim to have a good first season back in the Premier League.
Last time they got promoted, they managed to stay in the top-flight for three seasons before eventually getting relegated.
Sainz would be a good signing for Leeds United
Sainz, a two-time Championship Player of the Month award winner, would be an excellent signing for Leeds due to his proven goal-scoring prowess and dynamic attacking style in the Championship.
The 24-year-old Norwich winger has netted 17 goals and provided four assists in 35 appearances during the 2024-25 season, being the second highest scorer in the division despite playing for a mid-table side.
His pace and direct approach make him a constant threat, capable of stretching defences and creating space for teammates, which aligns perfectly with Farke’s high-intensity, attacking philosophy.
The Spaniard’s ability to score in various scenarios, including two hat-tricks, demonstrates his clinical edge, addressing Leeds’ need for consistent firepower to bolster their promotion push.
With his contract nearing its end in 2026, Leeds could secure him for a reasonable fee, making him a cost-effective addition to challenge for survival in the Premier League.
