“They’ve got the firepower to promotion”- “Paul Merson’s Brutal Verdict on Leeds star Reveals what the 49ers MUST do this summer to secure Promotion
Leeds United are aiming for a successful summer transfer window, but the 49ers must focus on securing the current squad ahead of a potential Premier League campaign.
Under Daniel Farke’s guidance, this Leeds team is shaping up to be one of the best, with the potential to thrive in the Premier League.
One key situation that needs resolving is the future of Manor Solomon, as Leeds are keen to make his loan move permanent.
However, the Whites’ fans have raised doubts, especially after Solomon’s underwhelming performance against West Brom.
While one bad game shouldn’t overshadow his overall potential, it’s clear that securing the Israeli winger is still a priority for next season.
Another player who could remain at Leeds for the upcoming campaign has recently been discussed by Paul Merson.
Paul Merson’s Verdict on Leeds Star Dan James
Dan James has been outstanding in the Championship for Leeds, emerging as one of the standout players of the season.
The Welsh winger is in the form of his life and plays a crucial role in Farke’s tactical setup.
During Sky Sports’ Soccer Saturday, Merson praised Leeds’ promotion credentials, with a particular emphasis on James’ ability. “They’ve got the firepower,” Merson said. “They’ve got James, who’s miles too good for this league.”
Merson’s Assessment Highlights 49ers’ Next Move at Leeds
It’s clear that James is operating at a level well above the Championship, and his performances speak volumes.
With 19 goal contributions in 29 matches, James is only one goal involvement away from matching his total from last season—an indication of how vital he’s been this campaign.
James’ current contract runs until 2026, and while interest in the 27-year-old is inevitable, he appears content at Leeds.
This should prompt the 49ers to act quickly, as a new contract is reportedly in the works for James, cementing his place in the club’s future plans.
While Pascal Struijk is expected to be the first player offered a new deal, James should be close behind, with his future at Leeds looking increasingly secure.
