Leeds United could potentially be affected by Sheffield United midfielder Gus Hamer this summer transfer window.

The Whites have returned to the Premier League after a two-year absence and have made some impressive additions to their team so far.

Hamer has emerged as a target at Elland Road after the 28-year-old missed out on Premier League promotion with the Blades last season.

Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach have already signed for the West Yorkshire outfit, but it looks like they may miss out on the Dutch midfielder.

Hamer isn’t immediately interested in joining newly promoted Leeds or Burnley in the ongoing transfer window, according to SoccerNews.

The news outlet reports (24 July) that the Whites have been eyeing the midfielder’s signature at Elland Road for some time now, but negotiations haven’t been going smoothly.

Hamer’s Championship record this season.

It’s been claimed that the 28-year-old is eager to join a Premier League outfit this summer, but he isn’t forcing a departure from Sheffield United.

PSV Eindhoven are the other team vying for the Dutchman’s signing, but his continuity at Bramall Lane isn’t out of the question.

Longstaff made his Leeds debut against Manchester United in Stockholm recently, and it feels like the Whites have their new Kalvin Phillips.

The former Newcastle United midfielder undoubtedly brings much-needed Premier League experience to the West Yorkshire outfit’s ranks, which will certainly come in handy next season.

Daniel Farke also has Stach at his disposal now, and the ex-Hoffenheim star seems perfect for the English top flight.

Leeds arguably need quality depth in their ranks to face the rigours of the upcoming campaign, and they’ve made some astute additions to their defence and engine room this summer.

The Whites should now focus on bolstering their attack before the end of August to give Joel Piroe more support up front.

Patrick Bamford is certainly surplus to requirements, while Mateo Joseph has told Farke he wants to leave, making reinforcements in the forward line an evident priority over Hamer.
