Why Daniel Farke must ready convincing Leeds transfer pitch after Harvey Elliott latest
Daniel Farke may soon set his sights on Liverpool playmaker Harvey Elliott at Leeds United.
The 23-year-old has returned to Anfield after a frustrating spell at Aston Villa and his future will be one to keep an eye on.
After starring for England's youth side at the Under-21 Euros, the attacking midfielder got a move to Villa Park, but Unai Emery hardly played him to avoid making his loan deal permanent.
Elliott is now being linked with Leeds as the Elland Road hierarchy look to reinforce Farke's squad ahead of next season.
After securing Premier League safety, the West Yorkshire outfit will now be looking to build on that success.
The Peacocks should increase the standards of their squad with their new signings and the Liverpool ace would arguably do just that.
What Leeds United must do to sign Harvey Elliott
Elliott has seen his minutes in the Premier League diminish over the last two seasons after struggling under Arne Slot and Emery.
Last season, the Englishman wasn't allowed to showcase his talent and was forced to remain out of the squad due to a dispute between Villa and Liverpool.
According to The Yorkshire Post on 22 July, the playmaker is now generating plenty of interest in the Premier League.
The Whites do like Elliott, but it remains to be seen whether they will make a formal approach for him.
Lee Carsley described the attacker as "explosive" due to his style of play as he shone at the Under-21 Euros, which England won.
If the West Yorkshire outfit do believe they can get the best out of Elliott, Farke will likely have to convince the midfielder by offering a guaranteed role in the starting lineup, given his unsavoury experience at Villa.
Elland Road hierarchy also make striker transfer decision
MOT Leeds News covered stories of Leeds' interest in Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju last summer.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lukas Nmecha and Joel Piroe are Farke's three options in the number nine position ahead of next season, but there could potentially be some changes up front.
The Yorkshire Post report adds that despite the 22-year-old Guinea-Bissau international being linked with the Whites, they aren't actively pursuing him at the moment.
Franculino scored 22 goals in 34 appearances for the Danish club in the previous campaign.
Only time will tell who the Peacocks will sign this summer to bolster their attack.
