Danny Mills, a Sky Sports pundit, believes Leeds United’s owner, 49ers Enterprises, should “absolutely” meet Sheffield United’s asking price for right-back Jayden Bogle.
Leeds has reportedly had two offers rejected, with Sheffield United valuing Bogle at around £7 million.
Mills suggests this fee would be a “small price to pay” if Bogle helps Leeds return to the Premier League.
He emphasizes the importance of quality recruitment for Leeds, especially with other players potentially leaving the club.
Leeds United’s need for a new right-back is clear.
With Archie Gray’s departure to Tottenham and no apparent interest in re-signing Connor Roberts, coupled with Rasmus Kristensen’s likely exit, the position needs reinforcement.
Bogle is seen as an ideal solution, given his familiarity with the league and potential for improvement.
While £7 million might be more than Leeds initially planned to spend, it could be necessary to secure the deal.
The article concludes by expressing hope that the 49ers will support manager Daniel Farke and his recruitment team by providing the funds needed to sign Bogle this summer.
This transfer is viewed as crucial for Leeds’ ambition to return to the Premier League in the upcoming season.
