Leeds United are following Kean Lewis-Potter’s case as they could approach the attacker in the window.
According to INews, Leeds United could target Keane Lewis-Potter in the window, as the club keep tabs on the attacker’s situation. The Hull City star could be considered a potential replacement for Raphinha, who continues to attract the attention of big sides, with a move away from Elland Road looking imminent.
Leeds United had only breathed a sigh of relief after narrowly escaping relegation from the Premier League on the last day of the season. However, they are already under pressure in the transfer window. The Whites are bracing for big offers for their biggest players, which could lead to notable departures.
Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips are subject of interest from several top sides, with the duo likely to move on this summer. And, Leeds are already under pressure to replace them and bring in quality players that may help them fight the challenges in the Premier League.
Phillips is a target for Manchester City, while several clubs are chasing Raphinha, including Arsenal, who saw their initial bid rejected by Leeds United. The two players have contributed majorly to the club’s run in the Premier League in the last two seasons.
Leeds have to make smart decisions in the window and sign players that not only suit their system but also would fill the void left by those departures. They are keeping tabs on Keane Lewis-Potter’s situation, who is primed for a bright future in English football.
Lewis-Potter had been previously pursued by West Ham United and Brentford and is one of the hottest young prospects in the market. However, Hull City are likely to cash in on the 21-year-old, with the attacker entering the final year of his contract, although they have an option to extend it for one more season.
Leeds are reportedly keen on the attacker, as a replacement for Raphinha. Hull are eager to sell him on for a good value, with Transfermarkt suggesting Lewis-Potter could be worth around £17 million.
With Leeds expected to bring in big money if they sell Raphinha and Phillips, they could certainly afford the likes of Lewis-Potter and other players in the window. Jesse Marsch’s side could launch a concerted effort once the departures are finalised.
