AliousDespite the summer transfer window being closed, Leeds United is already considering potential January signings to strengthen their squad for the latter half of the 2024-25 season.
Leeds experienced significant changes this past summer, losing key midfielders like Georginio Rutter and Archie Gray.
However, they’ve invested in new players to compensate for these losses and may continue to do so in January.
After missing out on promotion last season, Leeds aims to either win the Championship or secure second place, avoiding the unpredictable play-offs.
The January window will be crucial for addressing any team weaknesses, with midfield potentially being an area of focus.
According to Gune Bakis, Leeds is targeting Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing.
The club has reportedly made “serious offers” as manager Farke seeks to add more top-tier talent.
However, Billing is also attracting interest from Turkish Süper Lig clubs, who have until September 13 to complete transfers.
Billing, a Danish international and former Huddersfield player, joined Bournemouth in 2019.
He’s made nearly 200 appearances for the Cherries, contributing 31 goals and 20 assists.
While the report doesn’t specify Bournemouth’s asking price, Transfermarkt values Billing at €22 million.
Given his contract runs until 2027, Bournemouth might demand this amount.
It remains to be seen how Bournemouth’s season unfolds and whether they’d consider selling Billing, who has made one appearance so far this season.
Leeds’ potential offer could also influence the decision.
