Leeds United’s Bold Move for El Khannouss
Leeds United have emerged as the frontrunners in the race to sign Bilal El Khannouss from Leicester City this summer, according to reports. The Moroccan international, who shone in a struggling Leicester side last season, is seen as a key target to enhance Leeds’ midfield dynamism and depth.
Financial Commitment Shows Leeds’ Ambition
With a weekly salary offer of £50,000 and readiness to meet the £24.5million release clause, Leeds are demonstrating their serious intent to bring El Khannouss to Elland Road. This move is viewed as a long-term investment in the club’s future.
Competition from Premier League Rivals
Despite interest from Newcastle United and monitoring by Arsenal, Leeds have taken the most concrete steps towards securing the deal. European clubs RB Leipzig, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer Leverkusen are also reportedly keen, but Leeds are currently in pole position.
A Crucial Signing for Leeds’ Survival Hopes
Securing El Khannouss could be pivotal for Leeds as they aim to avoid the fate of recent Premier League newcomers by strengthening their squad under Daniel Farke’s guidance.
