Daniel Farke\u2019s Leeds United side have just strengthened their squad again with the addition of Anton Stach from Hoffenheim.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019<\/a> backline and midfield is now stacked with Premier League ready talent, and Farke will be feeling optimistic about his side\u2019s chances of competing in the top flight.<\/p>\n

However, Leeds are perhaps still lacking in two departments \u2014 Illan Meslier needs to be replaced and Farke is also crying out for further attacking recruits.<\/p>\n

Earlier in the summer, TBR Football<\/strong> shared that Manor Solomon wanted to stay at Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> despite strong interest from Leeds.<\/p>\n

25-year-old Manor Solomon<\/a> made 41 appearances for Leeds in all competitions on loan last season, but his focus is currently on trying to impress new Spurs boss Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n

Leeds could make a late move for Tottenham\u2019s Manor Solomon<\/p>\n

That being said, chief correspondent Graeme Bailey<\/strong> believes that Leeds might still be able to make a successful late play for Solomon this summer.<\/p>\n

Tottenham have a ton of attacking options in wide positions heading into the new season, and Solomon\u2019s stance might quickly change once he\u2019s not getting regular chances. <\/p>\n

TBR Football<\/strong> previously revealed that Spurs want \u00a320m for Solomon<\/a> this summer, a fee that Leeds would seemingly be happy to pay.<\/p>\n

READ MORE<\/strong>: \u00a350m striker is aware of Leeds\u2019 interest and he\u2019s keen on move to Elland Road<\/a><\/p>\n

Explaining the latest, Bailey said: \u201cLeeds still really like Manor Solomon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there\u2019s a very good chance after a couple of games once we get into the start of the season and Solomon sees he\u2019s not first choice at Spurs and involved \u2014 I think we could see him at Leeds.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeeds still like him an awful lot, I think there\u2019s a very good chance Solomon still ends up at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the sake of Leeds going for their second choice, they may as well hang on. They wanted Solomon and he\u2019s not going to be particularly expensive. So I think he is in their minds.\u201d<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke is still in the market for a new number 10<\/p>\n

Of course, Leeds\u2019 attacking signings won\u2019t just stop at a winger \u2014 Farke is also keen to recruit a striker and a number 10 at Elland Road.<\/p>\n

Leeds are unlikely to sell Matteo Joseph<\/a> until they sign a striker, the club are wary of leaving themselves short.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

And in terms of who the 49ers might sign, Bailey shared that Leeds are monitoring the situations of Sheffield United\u2019s Gustavo Hamer and Aston Villa\u2019s Emi Buendia very closely.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThey\u2019re interested in Buendia and Hamer for the number 10 role too, I think they\u2019re waiting for that one to unfold.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it stands with Buendia, the deal Villa want is not acceptable for Leeds, but I think that one will change.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously they\u2019re working on a number nine as well, and I must admit I am surprised they didn\u2019t push harder for Josh Sargeant if I\u2019m honest.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Solomon\u2019s part, former Man City star Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> previously called the winger an \u2018excellent player<\/a>\u2019.<\/p>\n

And if Leeds are able to pick up Premier League pair Solomon and Buendia before the end of the window, their chances of avoiding relegation would look very promising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Daniel Farke\u2019s Leeds United side have just strengthened their squad again with the addition of Anton Stach from…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284669,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,162,4884,1858,1860,2922,12415,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-284668","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-english-premier-league","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-kevin-de-bruyne","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-leeds-united","15":"tag-manor-solomon","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114901462829328446","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284668","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=284668"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284668\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284669"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284668"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284668"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
