‘Remarkable’ player could sign for Leeds very shortly after missing training
Leeds United are often one of the liveliest clubs in the transfer window in England, and the Whites have been no exception this year.
Daniel Farke has made big moves to sign the likes of Joe Rodon, Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani, with Leeds still chasing Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer as a big-name Championship coup.
Another player the Yorkshire giants have been after in recent weeks is Fortuna Dusseldorf star Ao Tanaka, with the Japanese international having a release clause worth €3m (£2.5m) that has come across as appealing for Leeds.
And today, there has been a major development in Leeds’ pursuit for Tanaka.
Ao Tanaka not in Dusseldorf training ahead of Leeds move
According to , Tanaka was not present in training this morning for Dusseldorf, with Leeds in talks with the 2. Bundesliga side to get a deal over the line for the 25-year-old midfielder.
Hailed by the as a ‘remarkable’ athlete, Tanaka could be an exceptional signing for Leeds this summer and a top replacement for the likes of Archie Gray and Glen Kamara, who both left Elland Road this summer.
And with Tanaka not in training today, there’s a real chance that Leeds are about to strike a breakthrough with Dusseldorf for the Japanese international, who seems keen on making the move to the Championship side.
Indeed, Leeds would be quite the move for Tanaka given the potential the club have under Farke, and the 25-year-old maestro could relish in the English second-tier given the midfielder’s competitive style of play.
Tanaka could be one of the signings of the summer in the Championship
With seven goals last season and drawing incredible comparisons to Jude Bellingham, Leeds might be about to land an absolute bargain in Tanaka in the coming days.
The 25-year-old seems keen on a new adventure in England, with Leeds one of the favourites to win promotion to the Premier League this season even after losing so many key players this summer.
And under Farke, Tanaka could be a real threat in midfield for the Whites, who this year will want to do all they can to ensure they finish in the automatic promotion spots.
