Shea Charles to Leeds United: Player who scored at Elland Road last season can finally unlock transfer
Shea Charles to Leeds United has already become the transfer saga of the summer at Elland Road.
It's strange too, given that the majority of fans don't even believe Daniel Farke needs another midfielder.
Harry Wilson has agreed to sign for Leeds as a free agent, in a deal that somehow was easier to sort than Charles.
The Whites have already had two bids rejected for the Northern Ireland international, but the chase remains on.
Having tabled £23million already, Leeds will need to get closer to £30m to get this one over the line.
But, Crystal Palace may just be about to give them the helping hand they so desperately need.
Leeds United finally get key to unlock Shea Charles transfer
Let's get one thing straight, Charles won't be playing for Southampton this season.
After the Saints were dumped out of the Championship play-offs for spying, another year in the second-tier with a points deduction won't be fancied.
Leeds, on the other hand, are set for a second year of Premier League football and are going places again.
So, all that was needed was a replacement at St Mary's.
Finally, Alan Nixon has reported on his Patreon that Southampton have entered the race to sign Palace midfielder, Justin Devenny.
Justin Devenny has Leeds previous
There was plenty of drama around Palace's trip to Elland Road last season.
Having specifically requested the fixture to be changed, the Premier League moved it for a second time.
It was all because of a Carabao Cup semi-final with Arsenal and Conference League involvement, so nothing to do with Leeds.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin spoiled the Eagles' party with a double as the Whites ran riot, winning 4-1.
Ironically, it was Devenny who scored a penalty before also hitting the post for Oliver Glasner, who was in charge at the time.
Now, he could come to Leeds' aid and his possible move south could unlock the door for Charles to finally sign on the dotted line.
