Daniel Farke’s side secured their place in the Premier League earlier this month, and now they are preparing for a busy summer transfer window. – Next season should not be lived on the edge of the cliff!

For the Yorkshire club, this is a golden opportunity to build on after proving they can fight their way out of the relegation battle.
Many predicted that Leeds would be one of the teams relegated from the Premier League this season, but Farke and his side have done a phenomenal job of establishing themselves as a top club.
They will certainly not rest on their laurels – on the contrary, they want to put another impressive summer in terms of player logistics.
Leeds now lead ahead of Coventry in the race to sign ‘ridiculous’ striker
According to Football Insider, Burnley striker Zian Flemming has emerged as a concrete target for Leeds ahead of the summer transfer window.
Former scout Mick Brown has confirmed that Leeds are targeting the striker, but he may not necessarily be their first choice striker.
“Zian Flemming is a target for Leeds. It’s not news – they haven’t just started keeping an eye on him now that Burnley have been relegated. They have had scouts who have monitored him throughout the season. They know they want to sign a new striker. They have a priority in that position, and then they have options further down the list. That’s where I think Flemming is. He’s on that list of goals, but I’d be surprised if he was Leeds’ best choice,” Brown said.
The report confirms that Leeds are on the hunt for a new striker in the summer, but it remains to be seen if they will make a move to sign Flemming. He was recently named the Lancashire club’s best player after Burnley’s relegation.

GMS assessment: The striker should not be Leeds’ priority
Considering Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s form and the fact that Leeds have Lucas Nmecha as a backup, signing a striker shouldn’t be the first priority for Leeds this summer.
In reality, Leeds shouldn’t have to spend big money. They already have a solid squad with good competition in most places.
Making smart financial agreements – as they have succeeded in recent years – will be very beneficial. The season they have had means that they do not have to panic.
It remains to be seen what their priority position will be, but either way, it could be an exciting summer transfer window for Leeds supporters.
