Leeds United to spend £10m on 26-year-old maestro defender this summer

It’s anticipated that the Whites will be shopping for a new right-back this summer.

Even though Leeds is still in talks to extend Jamie Shackleton’s contract, Sam Byram has signed a new one-year agreement.

It’s the center of the park for Archie Gray’s future, and Connor Roberts has returned to Burnley.

Leeds will therefore require a new right-back this summer in what is expected to be a turbulent transfer window as numerous players depart.

For the 49ers to help balance the books and adhere to Financial Fairplay, they must sign some players and still turn a healthy profit.

Deals on a few freebies, discounts, and loans can be the norm.

The man in question is Trai Hume, a right-back for Sunderland and Northern Ireland. Over the past few years,

the right-sided standout has been a mainstay for The Black Cats, appearing in every league game the previous season.

That applies whether you were playing in midfield, at right or left back, or at center back.

The “exceptional” defender is a right-back, of course, and if The 49ers can get him, he would be a fantastic addition to Leeds.

However, given that Aston Villa, Leicester, Napoli, and Bournemouth are also interested, reports suggest that a deal

may be challenging. According to The Belfast Telegraph, Leeds and those teams must pay £8 million for him.

Hume is aware that a transfer to Aston Villa or Napoli would make him a backup player, and considering Ricardo

Pereira and James Justin are already at the King Power, it’s likely that he would be one at Leicester as well.
