Leeds United are already interested in Leicester City duo Bilal El Khannouss and James Justin, despite the two clubs swapping places in the Premier League and Championship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Leeds United<\/a> hierarchy now they aren\u2019t done yet and one full-back option is James Justin of Leicester on Leeds\u2019 radar<\/a>. The reception to that has been positive, as Leeds fans already like the idea of Justin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s reported that \u00a36 million is enough for Justin, with Everton also keen<\/a>. He is in the last year of his contract and a fresh start might suit Justin<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The problem is that\u00a0Crystal Palace are said to be interested in El Khannouss<\/a>.\u00a0It\u2019s also reported that\u00a0Bilal El Khannouss would cost Leeds around \u00a322 million<\/a>\u00a0due to a release clause in his deal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s stated that El Khannouss\u2019 wage demands would not be an issue<\/a>, either, with Leeds holding a meeting with El Khannouss\u2019 camp<\/a>\u00a0last Wednesday\u00a0in a bid to thrash out a deal.<\/p>\n

El Khannouss started but Justin was nowhere to be seen<\/a> during Leicester\u2019s friendly with Fiorentina on Sunday. However, another star has gone viral and caught the eye of Leeds fans already.<\/p>\n

We suggested Abdul Fatawu as an option for Leeds<\/a>, and it seems Leeds fans on Twitter\/X all agree as well. They took to the app to say: \u201cBest thing is, even if we go for the cheaper\/lower level winger, Solomon STILL isn\u2019t the one we should get\ud83d\ude2d go for rowe, fatawu etc.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

I wouldn\u2019t mind Fatawu at all.<\/p>\n

Another stated: \u201cWould be absolute madness if he spends another season in the Championship, only question around Fatawu was how he would come back from the injury his quality levels and potential pre injury were amazing and still are post injury.\u201d<\/p>\n

Further responses read: \u201cMuniz Gnonto El Khannouss Fatawu I have a dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

A number of fans had the same thoughts on the pair: \u201cFatawu & El Khannouss, problem solved #lufc\u201d<\/p>\n

A left-footed but right-sided winger makes enormous sense from a Leeds perspective, given the current makeup of the squad out wide with Willy Gnonto, Dan James, and Largie Ramazani.<\/p>\n

Jack Harrison\u2019s future is unclear and he prefers the left, which is why Fatawu would be a unique player for Leeds to have.<\/p>\n

Speaking to BBC Radio Leicester<\/a> back in April 2024. Enzo Maresca said: \u201cHe\u2019s young, he needs to learn many things.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem with young players is they are up and down.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just said to him that the next two games, he is going to be on the bench,\u201d the manager joked.<\/p>\n

\u201cOtherwise, he\u2019ll start to shoot from everywhere, because he scored!\u201d<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nDreams FC<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n6<\/td>\nunknown<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSporting CP<\/td>\n12<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLeicester City<\/td>\n56<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n15<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGhana<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Abdul Fatawu\u2019s career stats so far<\/p>\n

\u201cHe deserves it,\u201d Maresca added.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe needs to learn how to manage himself, but the performance was very good.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s developed further since then, which is why Leeds fans are so keen to sign Fatawu and rebalance their attack with a natural left-footer on the flanks.<\/p>\n
