Club chief says anything can happen after claims Leeds want to sign player likened to David Beckham

Leeds United have lost many of their key assets this summer but have made progress in replacing them.

Largie Ramazani has completed a move to Elland Road in the last week and now The Whites are working on a deal to sign Tottenham’s Manor Solomon.

A midfielder remains a priority for Daniel Farke and with that said, a club chief has left the door open for Leeds to swoop in for their rumoured target.

Leeds could still sign Dejan Ljubicic

Leeds United have been in talks to sign Dejan Ljubicic over the last few weeks and it appeared as though the deal reached a standstill.

Though, Koln’s sporting director Thomas Kessler has now left the door open for Leeds in a recent interview.

“We want to keep Dejo and have deposited that. But nothing is ruled out in football,” Kessler admitted.

That’ll certainly give Leeds a slight glimmer of hope but they’ll have to up their bid after seeing a £3.4m bid knocked back.

It’s thought Ljubicic is keen on a move to Elland Road.

Dejan Ljubicic profile

Ljubicic has been likened to David Beckham and whilst he’s evidently of the same calibre, they do have certain similarities.

The 26-year-old possesses excellent technical ability and can score goals from midfield, as evinced by his strike below.

Ljubicic can operate as a number six, attacking midfielder, and at right midfield, so his potential arrival would provide Farke with great cover in a number of areas.
