Leeds United make lucrative Emre Tezgel offer as bargain transfer on cards
Stoke City striker Emre Tezgel may be on his way to Elland Road as Leeds United want him in the upcoming transfer window.
The 19-year-old forward has made his way through the youth ranks at the Potters, but could potentially be on the move soon as his contract expires at the end of June.
Patrick Bamford is attracting interest from Wrexham, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave the Whites next summer.
Mateo Joseph has underwhelmed at Elland Road this season, and the West Yorkshire outfit may opt to cash in on him soon, leaving the need for reinforcements up front.
Stoke complications arise after lucrative Leeds United offer to Tezgel
Stoke are keen on retaining Tezgel’s services at the bet365 Stadium, but the Whites have complicated things, according to TEAMtalk.
The news outlet reports (30 May) that the West Yorkshire outfit have made a lucrative offer to the England Under-20 international to seal a move to Elland Road.
It’s been claimed that the Whites see the Stoke “sensation” as a dynamic addition, as they hope to survive relegation from the Premier League next season.
The Potters want to avoid losing the young striker for a minimal compensation fee, and it remains to be seen whether the Peacocks can pull off a bargain deal.
Tezgel not enough for Daniel Farke in Premier League
Daniel Farke relied on Joel Piroe to be his main number nine this season as he won the Championship Golden Boot.
While the Dutchman has been impressive at the Whites in recent months, he can’t be expected to produce similar numbers in the English top flight.
Daniel James was the second-highest goalscorer for the West Yorkshire outfit in the current campaign, and fans will hope he can continue to perform well.
Leeds have been linked with Callum Wilson, and his Premier League experience may be tempting for Farke, but fans wouldn’t be encouraged by the transfer.
The Newcastle United striker has struggled with injuries this season, and his performances haven’t been great since being replaced by Alexander Isak at St James’ Park.
While Tezgel is young and hungry, the West Yorkshire outfit should also focus on signing a reliable number nine in the upcoming transfer window.
The 19-year-old’s addition from Stoke would evidently be welcomed by the Elland Road faithful, but the Peacocks arguably need much more to avoid embarrassment in the Premier League.
