In a surprise move, Leeds United will pay a Newcastle player more than Alexander Isak.
Leeds United has probably begun preparing for a possible Premier League campaign next season,
and if promoted, Elland Road will require a large number of new players.
Leeds United is still at the top of the standings heading into this weekend’s matches, with 14 Championship games remaining.
The Whites led Sheffield United, who were in second position, by a healthy five points for a full day.
Leeds might not even be first on Saturday, as Sheffield United plays Luton Town on Saturday and
Leeds faces Sunderland on Monday. However, promotion looks likely at Elland Road,
and the club is expected to bring in a striker if the club does get promoted. On Wednesday, they were eight points ahead of Burnley and a tonne ahead of Sunderland.
If promoted, Leeds would like to sign a striker from Newcastle United.
The Whites are among several teams interested in signing Newcastle striker Callum Wilson,
whose contract expires in the summer, according to Graham Bailey, who told LeedsUnited.News.
Nick Hammond and Adam Underwood will be busy getting ready for the upcoming season and
where the team needs to bolster in the summer. A new striker will likely be the club’s top priority.
The injury-prone attacker, who makes over £100,000 a week on Tyneside—more than
first-choice striker Alexander Isak—is reportedly being considered by Leeds for a 12-month contract.
