“Leeds United Set to Sign £4m ‘Beast’ After He Rejects Rivals. A Game-Changer for Farke!
Leeds United are reportedly looking to strengthen their already Championship-leading squad by adding another attacker, a move that could be described as the “green” discussed in biblical terms, as the saying goes.
No other team has earned more points than Daniel Farke’s side, nor have any scored more goals. Middlesbrough is the only other club to have scored over 40 goals in the current season.
Farke’s squad depth is so impressive that Leeds often leave players like Wilfried Gnonto, Largie Ramazani, Patrick Bamford, and Mateo Joseph on the bench, while Brenden Aaronson, Manor Solomon, Dan James, and Joel Piroe start in their place.
Despite this, Leeds seem eager to add even more firepower to their already formidable team, which is more stocked than the weaponry in Hot Fuzz.
Leeds are continuing to be linked with Alvyn Sanches, the creative force behind Lausanne Sport’s surprise title challenge in Switzerland. Farke is reportedly interested in luring Mike Tresor away from promotion rivals Burnley. Additionally, Dor Turgeman of Maccabi Tel Aviv, another young forward, is reportedly being closely monitored by Leeds.
Turgeman, who plays for the Israel national team alongside Solomon, is also attracting attention from MLS clubs. While Portland Timbers are the most frequently mentioned team, there is considerable interest from other American clubs as well.
Israeli news outlet One has provided mixed news for Leeds United. On the positive side, Turgeman, who is valued at £4 million, has reportedly no intention of moving to MLS at this time. However, he is not in a rush to leave Maccabi Tel Aviv either.
Maccabi Tel Aviv coach Zarko Lazetic is eager to keep Turgeman until at least the summer, and it appears he may get his wish. With players like Solomon, Gnonto, and Ramazani capable of filling the left-wing role that Turgeman plays in Tel Aviv, Leeds are unlikely to face issues in that position during the second half of the season.
Despite a current five-match goal drought, Turgeman, who has netted nine goals and provided four assists this season, remains highly regarded by his coach. Lazetic downplays the importance of numbers, emphasizing that he wants his players to perform well. “I really believe in Dor, like in all the other players,” said Lazetic, who has previously described Turgeman as a “beast” on the field. In addition to his attacking abilities, Turgeman’s work rate and pressing skills align with what Farke looks for in his forwards.
