Leeds United are gradually strengthening their squad this transfer window, with Joe Rothwell being the latest addition to Daniel Farke’s team. This follows the understated signing of Alex Cairns from Salford City, aimed at bolstering their goalkeeping options. Fans are now eagerly anticipating a major signing at Elland Road.
A new right-back could be on the horizon for Farke’s squad, with no plans for Connor Roberts to return. Football journalist Mike McGrath reports that Leeds are poised to make a move for Sheffield United right-back Jayden Bogle to address long-standing issues on that flank.
Last season, Archie Gray often filled in at right-back, but with the young talent now at Tottenham Hotspur, Farke’s team is keen to secure a permanent solution. However, acquiring Bogle might not be straightforward. Journalist Alan Nixon notes that the recently relegated Sheffield United are demanding £7m for the player, a sum Leeds are currently reluctant to meet.
Despite this obstacle, Leeds, aiming for promotion, might still pursue Bogle.
JournalistGraham Smyth has also indicated that a move for Roberts is unlikely, further intensifying Leeds’ search for a right-back. The 23-year-old Bogle is seen as a potential upgrade, considering his performance in the 2023/24 season.
