Leeds set to make opening move to sign Aguero-like forward in coming days
Leeds United Prepare First Summer Signing as Premier League Return Sparks Transfer Action
Eager to make a swift impact upon their return to the Premier League, Leeds United are reportedly poised to launch their first formal bid for one of their top summer transfer targets in the coming days.
49ers Ready to Invest in Leeds’ Survival Bid
Determined not to repeat the fate of recently promoted clubs like Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and Southampton, Leeds’ owners — the 49ers Enterprises — are said to be fully committed to backing the club in the transfer market this summer.
A host of transfer rumours have already surfaced, with links to Everton striker Beto and veteran forward Jamie Vardy, who is set to depart Leicester at the end of the season.
Strengthening the attack appears to be high on the agenda, alongside addressing the long-standing goalkeeper situation by potentially replacing Illan Meslier.
Despite previous speculation over his future, manager Daniel Farke looks set to remain at the helm for this new Premier League campaign.
Club chairman Paraag Marathe ended the uncertainty during Leeds’ title celebrations, expressing full confidence in the German coach.
“I’m very excited to run it back with Daniel and collaborate with him,” Marathe said. “I’m under no illusions that it is going to be easy… but we have something they don’t — we have Daniel Farke. He is my man.”
For Farke, this season represents a crucial opportunity to prove himself in the Premier League after previous struggles with Norwich City.
This time, he appears to have the backing and resources to build a side capable of survival — starting with a potential marquee signing.
Leeds Lining Up Bid for Turkish Starlet Semih Kilicsoy
According to Fotospor, Leeds and the 49ers are preparing to submit their first official offer to sign Semih Kilicsoy from Besiktas in the coming days.
The club reportedly plans to send representatives to Turkey to deliver the bid in person, signalling their intent to begin summer business with a bold move.
Kilicsoy, just 19 years old, has been turning heads with his performances in the Turkish Super Lig.
Widely praised for his intelligence on the pitch and even drawing comparisons to Sergio Aguero, the young forward has notched 10 goal contributions this season — adding to the 15 he registered last term.
With raw talent and star potential, Kilicsoy could be the first major addition to help Leeds hit the ground running in the Premier League — a sign that this time, the Whites mean business.
