Fabrizio Romano’s £25m update is good news for Leeds United in bid to keep ‘terrific’ midfielder
Leeds United are expected to sell a number of other players this summer after permanent exits for Marc Roca and Archie Gray, but they will want to keep Glen Kamara at Elland Road.
Roca has returned to Real Betis on a permanent basis, while Gray has been sold to Tottenham for £40m. Joe Rodon comes the other way in a separate £10m deal, leaving Leeds with Rodon and a £30m profit.
The sale of Gray puts Leeds in a stronger position when it comes to interest and potential bids in their other stars. One had to be sacrificed in order to rake in some cash and it turns out, Gray is that player.
We saw it earlier this week when reports said Brighton had an offer of £30m turned down for Georginio Rutter. But Rutter is not the only Leeds player that Brighton are interested in signing this summer.
Brighton are said to have an interest in four Leeds players. Rutter is one, while talks have been held for Crysencio Summerville. The Seagulls are also keeping tabs on Willy Gnonto and “terrific” Kamara.
The latter only joined Leeds last summer from Rangers but played 42 times last season, providing Leeds with experience and consistency in midfield. That form has not gone unnoticed among Brighton’s board.
