It seems as though Leeds United will indeed have to sign a new left-back in this summer’s transfer window.
On Monday, it was announced that Leif Davis has left Elland Road on a permanent basis, completing a move to League One side Ipswich Town.
That means that with Junior Firpo and Stuart Dallas both currently out injured, Leeds do not have any fit and available senior left-backs to call upon going into the start of the season.
As a result, a new option in that position now looks to be something of a priority for Jesse Marsch, Victor Orta and co. and here, we’ve taken a look at two players Leeds should consider targeting to fill that void.
Josh Tymon
One option that has already been linked with Leeds during this summer’s transfer window, is Stoke City’s Josh Tymon.
The 23-year-old has plenty of experience in the Championship, so could be a decent back-up to come in now, while also having the time needed in his career, to develop and potentially become a first choice option for Leeds further down the line.
It has also been suggested that Stoke have set an asking price of ?6million for Tymon, which if correct, would be an easily affordable fee for Leeds to pay for a player who may spend much of the campaign as back-up, once Dallas and Firpo return to fitness.
Borna Sosa
Looking further afield, another option that could be worth considering for Leeds here, is Stuttgart’s Borna Sosa.
It has been reported that Leeds have previously held an interest in the left-back, who is apparently available this summer for a fee in the region of ?20million, amid links with a number of Europe’s big name clubs.
That fee means that Sosa would not be as much of a cheap option for Leeds in that role, but he could still be affordable, and the fact he already has some considerable top-flight experience, and is attracting that sort of interest, suggest he may be a more reliable option to take over that position, whenever required.
Do Leeds definitely need a left-back now Davis has gone?
Yes
No
