An “exceptional”Journalist Pete O’Rourke has provided an exciting update stating that a Leeds United star has now signed a significant new contract at Elland Road.
The Whites are right in the thick of the Championship promotion battle currently, and they know the importance of the Premier League when it comes to the calibre of signings they can bring in this summer.
FC Vizela midfielder Samu has also been linked with a switch to Leeds at the end of the season, with scouts sent to watch the soon-to-be free agent in action. Meanwhile, they are also believed to have made an offer for highly-rated youngster Mason Cotcher, with the 17-year-old currently on trial at Elland Road, having also been at Arsenal and Manchester United recently.
A reunion with Kalvin Phillips in the summer could also be on the cards, with the midfielder having a torrid time at Manchester City, not to mention struggling on loan at West Ham since moving to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
There are also some hugely important players that Leeds need to do everything they can to keep hold of, however, and an encouraging update regarding one such figure has emerged.
Big update over “standout” Leeds star’s future
According to a new update from Football Insider‘s O’Rourke, Archie Gray is likely to sign a new deal at Leeds, assuming they earn promotion to the Premier League.
He “will reject offers to join Real Madrid and Bayern Munich”, highlighting just how big a talent he is, and he instead sees his future with the Whites for the foreseeable future.
This is wonderful news for anyone associated with Leeds, considering Gray is one of the most promising youngsters at the club in years, already making 43 appearances for the club, despite still only being 18 years of age.
If ever Daniel Farke wanted extra motivation in the promotion battle, it is knowing that the teenager’s future could depend on whether they are back in the Premier League or not next season.
