Leeds United has experienced significant changes as the transfer deadline approaches, leaving many, including Chris Sutton, puzzled by the club’s recent developments.
After failing to secure promotion to the Premier League last season, Leeds has undergone a major rebuild. Key players like Georginio Rutter, Crysencio Summerville, and Archie Gray have departed the club.
While Leeds is reportedly close to securing Manor Solomon on loan to bolster their squad, Sutton finds the overall transfer activity at Elland Road disheartening.
He expressed surprise at the situation, given Leeds’ status as a major club and their recent playoff final appearance.
Sutton sympathizes with Leeds fans, noting that the club seems to be selling players without adequately replacing them.
He also acknowledges the challenging position this puts manager Daniel Farke in.
Despite the difficulties, Leeds did manage to secure their first win of the season against Sheffield Wednesday, which may alleviate some pressure on Farke and the board.
However, this victory alone is unlikely to fully satisfy fans’ concerns about the club’s transfer strategy.
With the transfer window nearing its close, there’s hope that Leeds will be very active in the coming days.
The club should have funds available from player sales, and there are fewer targets left for Premier League clubs to pursue.
Leeds supporters are eagerly anticipating new signings to strengthen the squad before the deadline.
