Leeds Seeking Midfield Reinforcements
Leeds United’s midfield challenges persist, regardless of their promotion status from the Championship.
While Ilia Gruev has been a standout performer for Daniel Farke, the squad lacks depth in this area, particularly as Archie Gray has transitioned into a high-caliber fullback.
Earlier in the season, Gruev’s absence due to injury was deeply felt, as Farke lamented: “Ilia’s absence is significant. His exceptional form is greatly missed, and his absence today, along with the lack of a premier right-back, is evident.
Ilia sets our pace and excels with the ball, even under duress. Our diminished possession quality, especially in the first half, is directly related,” Farke detailed.
With potential exits looming, bolstering the midfield is a clear priority for Leeds this summer, and they seem to have set their sights on a potential recruit.
Leeds have shown interest in Roma’s Edoardo Bove, reportedly discontented in Rome. Italy’s coach Luciano Spalletti praised Bove earlier this year, highlighting him as a promising talent for the national team.
“Recently, we’ve witnessed the rise of long-followed talents like Kayode, Ranieri, Koleosho, and Casadei,” he said.
“Bove has established himself as a reliable and exceptional player.”
However, since Daniele De Rossi’s arrival at Roma, Bove has seen less playtime, starting only twice since February, leading to dissatisfaction at his childhood club.
Local reports suggest Bove is contemplating a move, with Leeds keenly monitoring him for a potential transfer.
Despite signing a new contract recently, which nets Bove £30,000 weekly in Rome, Roma isn’t pressured to sell the 22-year-old.
Yet, should Bove decide to leave De Rossi’s tutelage this summer, a transfer is plausible.
While promotion failure doesn’t exclude a deal, Leeds’ chances of acquiring the Italian improve if they’re in the Premier League next season.
With upcoming matches against Norwich and possibly Southampton or West Brom, Leeds has the opportunity to secure their Premier League spot—and perhaps, with it, Bove as the linchpin of Farke’s midfield in the elite division.
