Leeds United will know they will have to spend plenty of money this summer if they are to have a chance of surviving in the Premier League.<\/strong><\/p>\n Daniel Farke\u2019s side are close to confirming a move for Jaka Bijol<\/a>, with the Slovenian having now passed a medical ahead of his imminent move to West Yorkshire. <\/p>\n The Udinese man should strengthen the heart of the defence at Elland Road<\/a>, but several other additions will be needed to bring the squad up to a competitive Premier League standard. <\/p>\n This summer could be all about taking opportunities in the market for Leeds, as they will require swift and sensible decision-making when it comes to their targets. <\/p>\n Kyle Walker-Peters has been on Leeds\u2019 radar<\/a> for some time now, and Tottenham may have just handed them the perfect opportunity to push towards a deal. <\/p>\n Spurs need to add more locally-trained players to their squad for their upcoming Champions League campaign, which has prompted them to consider a move to bring Walker-Peters<\/a> back to his boyhood club, according to Football London<\/a> (20 June).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n However, the North London outfit will first prioritise additions in other areas of their squad, which could allow others to steal a march on them where the right-back is concerned. <\/p>\n Multiple Premier League sides are understood to want the 28-year-old free agent, and given their previous interest, it would be a huge surprise if Leeds do not attempt to bring him in. <\/p>\n Tottenham may have slipped up by putting their pursuit of the former Southampton man on the back-burner, as it has left the door open for the Whites to swoop in and secure a deal. <\/p>\n Leeds are lacking depth in their full-back areas at present, and that problem has been exacerbated by the fact that Junior Firpo seems destined to depart<\/a>. <\/p>\n That leaves just Jayden Bogle, Sam Byram and Isaac Schmidt to cover the two full-back positions, but with Byram now 32 and Schmidt having failed to start a single league game last year, that will not suffice for Farke<\/a>. <\/p>\n A deal to bring Walker-Peters to Elland Road would see them land a vastly experienced defender at Premier League level, who can operate on either flank. <\/p>\n He would be a strong addition to Leeds\u2019 ranks if they could capture him, but they will have to move quickly if they are to get a deal done.<\/p>\n![\"Jaka](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Jaka-Bijol-Leeds-fi-web-1024x576.png\")
