Leeds United are making important strides towards signing Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City, MOT Leeds News<\/strong> has learned.<\/p>\n

Given the Foxes\u2019 relegation from the Championship, the 21-year-old attacking midfielder appears likely to part ways with them in order to play top-flight football.<\/p>\n

The Morocco international fancies a move to Leeds<\/a>, sources have told MOT Leeds News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MOT Leeds News<\/strong> has learned that the Elland Road<\/a> outfit are the most likely to sign El Khannouss and are progressing in their efforts to sign him.<\/p>\n

Despite the lack of Champions League football and a precarious position in the top flight after their first season post promotion, the Whites are confident of landing the midfielder. <\/p>\n

Crystal Palace are also interested in signing the Leicester player<\/a>, but their pursuit is not as advanced.<\/p>\n

According to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri on 6 August, they could make a move contingent on departures next week.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke will look to get the best out of El Khannouss<\/strong><\/p>\n

To maximise El Khannouss\u2019 potential at Leeds United in the Premier League<\/a>, Daniel Farke should harness the Moroccan\u2019s creativity and technical prowess. <\/p>\n

Positioning him as the number 10 in Farke\u2019s 4-2-3-1 system would allow him to dictate play and also make key passes in the final third. <\/p>\n

Farke should encourage him to link up with the wingers to unlock defences.<\/p>\n

El Khannouss has proven his worth at Genk, winning their Player of the Season award in the 2023\/24 and he also won the Best Young Player in Belgium in 2022 and 2024.<\/p>\n\nStats<\/td>\nEl Khannouss<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGoals<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAssists<\/td>\n3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nChances created<\/td>\n42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nShots per 90<\/td>\n1.23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

El Khannouss\u2019 stats last season.<\/p>\n

Defensively, Farke must refine his work rate to align with Leeds\u2019 high-pressing style, ensuring he contributes to regaining possession. <\/p>\n

Consistent starts will boost his confidence, building on his performances from last season. <\/p>\n

By blending tactical discipline with creative freedom and fostering a supportive environment, Farke can transform El Khannouss into a pivotal playmaker, elevating Leeds\u2019 attacking dynamism in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen if Palace make a last-gasp hijack to secure his services or if the Whites succeed in completing his signing in the coming days. <\/p>\n
