It\u2019s not anything new, they\u2019re not only having a look now that Burnley have gone down, they\u2019ve had scouts keeping an eye on him throughout the season. They know they want to sign a new striker, they\u2019ll have a priority option for that position, and then they\u2019ll have options further down the list. That\u2019s where I believe Flemming is, he\u2019s on that list of targets but I would be surprised if he was the number-one option for Leeds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The report confirms that Leeds are in the market for a new striker this summer, but it remains to be seen whether they will make a move to sign Flemming, who was voted Player of the Season for the Lancashire club, after Burnley&#8217;s relegation.<\/p>\n<p>                        Striker Shouldn&#8217;t be Leeds&#8217; Priority<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"826\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"dominic calvert-lewin leeds\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dominic-calvert-lewin-leeds.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dominic-calvert-lewin-leeds.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Considering the form of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the fact that Leeds have Lucas Nmecha as a back-up, signing a striker shouldn&#8217;t be their first priority this summer.<\/p>\n<p>In reality, Leeds shouldn&#8217;t have to spend significantly, as they already have a strong base of a squad with competition throughout.<\/p>\n<p>Making smart deals financially, as they have done over the last few years, will be hugely beneficial, and the season they&#8217;ve had means they won&#8217;t have to panic.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen what their priority position will be, but either way, it could be an exciting summer transfer window for Leeds supporters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds are showing an interest in signing one player from already relegated Burnley ahead of the summer transfer&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":404119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-955370","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-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116563095995373203","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955370","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=955370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/404119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
