According to reports, Leeds United could be hijacked in the race to sign Callum Wilson from Premier League rivals Newcastle United.<\/p>\n
The Whites<\/strong><\/a> are expected to be busy in the transfer market after securing promotion back to the Premier League, with several key signings to bridge the gap from the Championship.<\/p>\n A new striker is a priority for head coach Daniel Farke and Wilson<\/strong> <\/a>has reportedly been identified as a potential target.<\/p>\n The 33-year-old has 88 Premier League goals in 239 appearances, but he has been severely impacted by injuries in recent seasons.<\/p>\n During the 2024\/25 campaign, Wilson only made two Premier League starts for Newcastle and failed to scored in his 18 appearances overall.<\/p>\n Wilson\u2019s long-term future is in doubt as his current contract expires on June 30 and he is attracting interest from elsewhere.<\/p>\n READ:\u00a0\u00a397.5m Sheffield United quintet reassigned to PL clubs including Leeds United after play-off final loss<\/a> Recent reports have suggested that the newly-promoted side are leading the race to sign him<\/strong><\/a>, but The Sun claim<\/a> they could be hijacked by Everton if the striker \u2018snubs Newcastle\u2019s reduced contract offer\u2019.<\/p>\n Leeds were the \u2018first club to make a move\u2019 but he is a \u2018target for Everton\u2019, while he could commit to Newcastle for a further season.<\/p>\n Newcastle have decided against \u2018taking up their one-year option\u2019 to extend Wilson\u2019s deal on the same terms, but \u2018they have given him a fresh offer on reduced terms based on appearances\u2019.<\/p>\n The report adds:<\/p>\n \u2018David Moyes is desperate to bring in another striker but is unable to pay a large fee, which is why Wilson, a free transfer, would fit the bill.<\/p>\n \u2018Leeds are hopeful though that Wilson could be tempted to Elland Road as he would be guaranteed to play every week under Daniel Farke.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n MORE LEEDS UNITED COVERAGE ON F365\u2026<\/strong> Leeds could also look to raid arch-rivals Sheffield United following their loss in the play-off final as Blades standout Gustavo Hamer is a long-term target.<\/p>\n Farke\u2019s side failed with a cheeky move for Hamer last summer, but a deal is arguably more likely in the next window as they can offer Premier League football.<\/p>\n Journalist Ben Jacobs confirms Hamer is \u201cone to watch\u201d this summer with Leeds \u201cinterested\u201d. He tweeted: \u201cGustavo Hamer could leave Sheffield United this summer.<\/p>\n \u201cLeeds retain an interest, and also still like Emi Buendia. Everton have also enquired on Hamer.<\/p>\n \u201cSheffield United yet to receive any bids, but Hamer\u2019s future one to watch this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n TalkSPORT have also commented on Hamer, claiming he is \u2018expected to leave\u2019 the Blades this summer.<\/p>\n Sheff Utd are said to be \u2018resigned to losing\u2019 Hamer with Leeds and Everton \u2018interested\u2019. He is under contract until 2027, so the South Yorkshire side can at least demand a sizable fee this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to reports, Leeds United could be hijacked in the race to sign Callum Wilson from Premier League…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":114714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,49417,9030,393,11817,4884,225,2922,3047,12,101,1620,4239,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-138350","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-callum-wilson","10":"tag-championship","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-everton","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-home-page","15":"tag-leeds-united","16":"tag-newcastle-united","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-premier-league","19":"tag-sheffield","20":"tag-sheffield-united","21":"tag-uk","22":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114584916066198164","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/114714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
