Leeds United and the 49ers now want to sign a “technical” attacking player who will cost them nothing this summer, and he’s apparently open to joining both Leeds and rival suitors Wolves.
Leeds putting plans in place for busy summer
The Whites’ automatic promotion hopes suffered another blow over the weekend as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Luton Town. Leeds now have six games to go to secure a top-two finish ahead of Burnley or Sheffield United. But despite the uncertainty, Leeds are still putting plans in place for the summer, with the hope being they are a Premier League team.

At the end of last week, it was reported that the Whites have made an approach over a deal to sign Tomas Soucek from West Ham. The Czech Republic international has been identified as a target by Daniel Farke, who sees the midfielder as someone who can offer goals and experience to his team. But obviously this deal can only go through if Leeds are back in the top flight.
Signing a new goalkeeper has also become a priority for the club, and according to The Sun, Leeds are lining up a move to sign Nick Pope as Illan Meslier’s replacement.
Newcastle are chasing a deal for James Trafford, and this could mean Pope is allowed to leave St James’ Park this summer, despite his wealth of Premier League experience.
Leeds want to beat Wolves to the signing of "technical" star
It is not just a new goalkeeper on the Whites’ transfer list, as according to Alan Nixon, relayed by Football League World, Leeds are now interested in signing Grady Diangana from West Brom, with the attacker ‘hoping’ the Whites sign him, while he would also welcome interest from rival suitors Wolves.
It is reported that Diangana, who joined the Baggies on a permanent basis in 2020, would like to make a move to the top flight come the end of the campaign. Both teams have shown a concrete interest in the player, while teams from the MLS are also interested in a possible deal.
However, Diangana, who is out of contract at the end of the season, is holding off interest from teams abroad, as he wants to concentrate on the remainder of the campaign with West Brom, as they can still finish in the top six. It is claimed that there are no signs of a deal being agreed between the player and the Baggies, meaning he will cost Leeds nothing this summer should they look to sign him.

Diangana has been a big hit in the Championship, but before joining the Baggies, West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini labelled him a “technical” player with a great vision: “A technical player with a good view of the pitch and with a good solution when they receive the ball.”
