Leeds United fans given hope of signing Burnley star as Newcastle United handed ultimatum

Leeds United fans are looking forward to summer signings and away games at Premier League stadiums, but Daniel Farke must first focus on the Championship.

Their team has emerged as by far the most potent in the league after back-to-back wins; against Sunderland and then a 3-1 win at Sheffield United to cement their place at the top of the Championship table. What was a five point lead at the top is now a three point lead after a 1-1 draw against West Brom last time out.

But there looks to be nothing stopping Daniel Farke’s side from going on and claiming a spot in the Premier League for next season. Doing so would surely spark a mini summer rebuild of the playing squad. Whilst Leeds boast a strong side already, much more quality and depth too will be needed to ensure the Whites can retain their Premier League status.

Leeds United learn James Trafford’s transfer wish ahead of summer

Illan Meslier is one player that may need to be replaced this summer. The Frenchman has struggled in recent weeks, and Farke has been encouraged to fire Meslier if Leeds wins promotion to the Premier League.

This would imply the introduction of a new number one. Leeds have recently been linked with Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale, as well as Liverpool and Republic of Ireland shot-stopper Caoimhin Kelleher.

However, Leeds United fans have expressed their desire to bring in James Trafford from Burnley, stating that he has the most clean sheets in the Championship this season (24), ahead of Meslier in second (20).
