Leeds United came agonisingly close to winning promotion to the Premier League last season, but they failed to cross the final hurdle.
The club’s poor recruitment last summer was pinpointed as one of the major reasons for their failure. That is why this summer transfer window is so vital for the Whites.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are yet to add a summer signing to their ranks, and fans would be forgiven for feeling concerned especially when top talents are being linked with a move away from the club.
The Sun on Sunday (23/6; page 60) claimed that Leeds are interested in signing Jordan Hugill from West Ham this summer if either Kemar Roofe or Patrick Bamford leave the club.
