Leeds United will hope to sign 27-year-old Czech centre-back Ladislav Krejci from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer.<\/p>\n
According to a report by TEAMtalk<\/a>,\u00a0Ladislav Krejci is the subject of interest from Leeds United. The Whites are keen on bolstering their defensive unit by signing a centre-back in the upcoming transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding Sebastiaan Bornauw\u2019s long-term future, and they have set their sights on the 27-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers defender.<\/p>\n The TEAMtalk update has suggested that Leeds United \u201cwould be willing to offer a figure around the \u00a326 million mark for a player they have admired for much of the past season\u201d as they approach the summer. With the West Yorkshire club\u2019s summer plans accelerating, a summer deal for the Czech defender may be on the cards.<\/p>\n Ladislav Krejci and his short Premier League journey so far<\/p>\n Ladislav Krejci has been a standout performer since joining Wolverhampton Wanderers from Girona last summer. The Black Country outfit initially signed the 27-year-old on loan from the Catalan club, and they will officially complete a permanent deal worth \u00a326 million in a few weeks.<\/p>\n The Czech Republic international has been a consistent presence at the back this term for Wolverhampton Wanderers, amassing over 2,500 minutes of game time across 32 appearances<\/a>. However, despite his efforts, Krejci was unable to help the Black Country outfit avoid relegation from the Premier League, though his performances have attracted attention from several clubs, including Leeds United.<\/p>\n Does Krejci fit Daniel Farke\u2019s formation?<\/p>\n Leeds United\u2019s interest in Krejci<\/a> makes sense given their tactical requirements under Daniel Farke. The Whites have utilised a 3-5-2 formation during their resurgent recent run in the last six months. This setup demands three top-quality centre-backs at the back, and James Justin has often featured as a makeshift central defender.<\/p>\n While Pascal Struijk, Jaka Bijol, and Joe Rodon have been solid, Farke requires additional depth and quality to sustain a demanding campaign, especially with Sebastiaan Bornauw facing an uncertain future at Elland Road. Several candidates, including Danilho Doekhi<\/a>, have emerged on the West Yorkshire outfit\u2019s wishlist, with Krejci also representing a viable target.<\/p>\n
