What's next for Alfie Cresswell as Leeds United reject transfer proposal
Alfie Cresswell is in demand at Leeds United this transfer window.
The Whites' 19-year-old academy graduate, who can play in multiple positions, certainly has a massive season ahead of him.
Having been a regular in the West Yorkshire outfit's Under-21 side, the youngster will surely be looking to further his development in a first-team setting.
Radomiak Radom have expressed interest in Cresswell, but the Elland Road hierarchy seem to have other plans.
The versatile defender was a part of the first-team squad towards the end of last season, but is yet to make his debut for the senior side.
Alfie is the younger brother of Charlie Cresswell and Daniel Farke has given him significant minutes during pre-season.
What Leeds United could have in store for Alfie Cresswell
Cresswell has impressed at Leeds and it looks like the club want to make sure he stays on the right path to fulfil his potential.
The young enforcer was a regular in Premier League 2 last season and has shown he's ready for the step up to senior football.
According to Fabrizio Romano on 20 August, Radomiak Radom wanted Cresswell on loan, but the West Yorkshire outfit rejected their offer.
The Whites' academy graduate continues to attract attention from clubs and his situation will be one to watch closely.
What the Peacocks could potentially be waiting for is a Championship or League One team willing to give the versatile defender plenty of opportunities during the 2026-27 campaign.
A move to the Championship would certainly benefit Cresswell's development if the right club makes an approach.
What Daniel Farke could have planned for Alfie Cresswell
Farke seems to be a fan of Cresswell at Leeds, having included him in the first-team training group and Premier League squad.
It's clear that the Whites and the German manager have high hopes for the Englishman.
Speaking about Cresswell last season, Farke said, "He's not a regular member of our training group anyhow, but here and there we have him with us. Brilliant lad, brilliant character, also flexible in many defensive positions."
As things stand, the West Yorkshire outfit have immense quality in midfield and defence and it's hard to see the youngster making a place for himself in the first-team squad.
If Farke does feel Cresswell is ready, then his versatility could work in his favour, as has been evident during pre-season, with the youngster playing in the engine room and defence.
