‘Top Priority’: Update on Leeds signing new midfielder

“Their top priority is midfield. They are looking for players in that position, especially after the deal for [Glen] Kamara. For sure, they want to do something there.

“I think it’s really important for them to understand in the next week or 10 days what happens with Summerville because it’s a crucial part of their market. Then, for sure, they can do something in midfield as one of their priorities.”

Leeds Have Ljubicic Bid ‘Rejected’

One player Leeds could turn to in order to bolster their midfield depth is FC Koln’s Dejan Ljubicic. The 26-year-old Austria international is about to enter the final 12 months of his deal at the German club, who suffered relegation from the Bundesliga last season.

Ljubicic joined Koln from his homeland Austria in July 2021 having made his way through the youth ranks at Rapid Vienna. He made 131 appearances and scored eight goals for the 32-time Austrian champions prior to his departure three years ago.

Since joining Koln, he has made 92 appearances in total and scored 11 goals across all competitions. At international level, the now 26-year-old made his senior debut for Austria in 2021 at the age of 24 and he now has nine caps and one goal to his name.
