Leeds are making a real effort to build a team that can thrive in the Premier League. <\/strong><\/p>\n The Whites have signed Lukas Nmecha<\/a>, Jaka Bijol, Gabriel Gudmundsson and Sebastiaan Bornauw<\/a> already this summer. <\/p>\n They\u2019ve splashed some serious cash on those players, and are showing great ambition as far as the level of players they are targeting. <\/p>\n Their fans might soon have another new arrival to celebrate, according to a recent update from a Sky Sports journalist.<\/p>\n Leeds have been pursuing Sean Longstaff for most of the summer<\/a>.<\/p>\n Daniel Farke is a big admirer of the English midfielder, who struggled to nail down a first-team place at Newcastle last season. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Now, it would appear that they\u2019re finally ready to seal this transfer. <\/p>\n Posting on X, Sky Sports journalist Zinny Boswell says that Longstaff has left Newcastle\u2019s pre-season training camp in Austria to undergo a medical at Leeds. <\/p>\n Assuming that he passes the medical, Longstaff will then complete the transfer in a deal supposedly worth over \u00a312million.<\/p>\n That should prove to be a real coup for a 27-year-old who has proven himself as a capable midfielder in the Premier League.<\/p>\n Sean Longstaff has left Newcastle’s pre-season camp in Austria ahead of his proposed move to Leeds United. \u2014 Zinny Boswell (@ZinnyBoswell) July 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n View Tweet<\/p>\n Farke is aiming to build a strong spine to his team<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s likely that Longstaff<\/a> will be a guaranteed starter for Leeds as long as he\u2019s fit and playing well. <\/p>\n The same could be said of Bijol, who hasn\u2019t played in the Premier League in Serie A and at international level. <\/p>\n Daniel Farke is desperate to sign a new goalkeeper<\/a>, and has been pursuing the likes of Lucas Perri and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.<\/p>\n If he can complete one of those deals and recruit a proven striker, he\u2019ll have the spine of a strong team.<\/p>\n Longstaff has the energy and the guile to dominate midfield against most Premier League sides. With Leeds target Anton Stach<\/a> by his side, he\u2019ll find it even easier to do that.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an exciting transfer window so far for Leeds fans. If Farke could add these extra missing pieces, they\u2019ll have every reason to be optimistic going into the new season. <\/p>\n![\"Sean](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Sean-Longstaff-1024x576.png\")
