Meslier has been dropped by 49ers after recruiting an excellent EFL talent for Leeds

After falling to QPR 4-0, Leeds United appears certain to miss out on automatic promotion to the Premier

League, therefore they will need a small miracle this coming Saturday.

The Whites need Ipswich Town to lose to Huddersfield and defeat Southampton at Elland Road on Saturday in

following their confirmation of their relegation from the Championship last month.

The source claims that Leeds is leading the race to sign Johansson following the conclusion of the 2023–2024

campaign, and they want him to become a member of their team whether they are in the Premier League or the
