Leeds United News has the latest exclusive information on the club\u2019s next transfer deals after Dominic Calvert-Lewin becomes their eighth summer signing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/a> have made seven summer signings but only one of those has been an attacker, with Lukas Nmecha arriving on a free transfer from the Bundesliga. <\/p>\n

Now, the club are looking to bolster their ranks in that area further. Leeds\u2019 first Calvert-Lewin contact <\/a>occurred over a month ago via a phone call directly to the player.<\/p>\n

Then,\u00a0it became clearer in recent days that\u00a0Calvert-Lewin was a serious consideration for Leeds<\/a>. That was instead of Fulham striker Rodrigo Muniz.<\/p>\n

The Athletic\u2019s David Ornstein then\u00a0confirmed the details of Leeds\u2019 deal for Calvert-Lewin<\/a>\u00a0after the two parties struck an agreement. It\u2019s also been reported that\u00a0Calvert-Lewin rejected Sunderland in favour of Leeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was reported at one stage of the summer that the\u00a0former Everton star wanted \u00a3150k per week<\/a>, but the details of how a Leeds and Calvert-Lewin agreement was met<\/a> have since been confirmed.<\/p>\n

Speaking of deals being struck, Leeds United News <\/strong>have learnt of two further potential transfers for Leeds. It\u2019s said that they are hopeful of acquiring both swiftly after Calvert-Lewin\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n

We revealed exclusively that James Justin of Leicester is on Leeds\u2019 radar<\/a>. The 27-year-old has a wealth of Premier League and Championship experience.<\/p>\n

Leeds have advanced discussions with the full-back and a deal is thought to be close to bring the Leicester defender to West Yorkshire. It is not as advanced as Calvert-Lewin but Leeds\u2019 confidence is growing regarding a move.<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLuton Town<\/td>\n114<\/td>\n6<\/td>\n13<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nLeicester City<\/td>\n168<\/td>\n11<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEngland<\/td>\n1<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

James Justin\u2019s career stats<\/p>\n

Leeds want a full-back who can cover both left-back and right-back, which is why Justin ranks highly on their list of options. He also has the added benefit of being homegrown.<\/p>\n

The other player Leeds are advancing rapidly in discussions with has not been named by club sources, but a wide forward who can operate as a striker has also been talked up as another versatile option on their shortlist.<\/p>\n

Sources at the club declined to confirm nor deny when quizzed on Swiss forward Noah Okafor, with whispers over the AC Milan attacker\u2019s name emerging of late.<\/p>\n

Leeds are in search of a powerful and athletic forward for their attack and the 25-year-old is ticking a number of the required boxes, especially as he can be utilised out wide or as a centre-forward.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s purely speculation but Okafor is the kind of profile Leeds have looked to sign this summer in both a physical and athletic sense.<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nFC Basel<\/td>\n54<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nRB Salzburg<\/td>\n110<\/td>\n34<\/td>\n23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAC Milan<\/td>\n53<\/td>\n7<\/td>\n5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nNapoli (loan)<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n0<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSwitzerland<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Noah Okafor\u2019s career stats (all comps)<\/p>\n

Okafor has the ability to be a makeshift number-nine but is best as a left-sided winger. There he is able to get between the lines and he loves to get shots away.<\/p>\n

Justin is advancing, but Okafor is perhaps a name to keep an eye on in the coming days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds United News has the latest exclusive information on the club\u2019s next transfer deals after Dominic Calvert-Lewin becomes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":341821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,33761,393,560,4884,114818,1860,121657,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-341820","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-dominic-calvert-lewin","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-exclusives","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-james-justin","14":"tag-leeds","15":"tag-noah-okafor","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115022876581304724","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341820","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=341820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/341820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/341821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=341820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=341820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=341820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
