Leeds United now want to sign the nine-goal attacking midfielder, who is available on a free transfer this summer

49ers Enterprises have already acknowledged behind the scenes that sales of key players are needed as they try to stay in line with PSR.

However, Paraag Marathe also insisted that there will be funds available for Daniel Farke to spend, with additions likely to be needed across the pitch.

The attacking zones in particular look like they could be overhauled in the coming weeks, with plenty of interest already building.

Leeds prepared to battle two clubs for Callum O’Hare

Crysencio Summerville, Willy Gnonto and Georginio Rutter are just three of the players who have been promoted for quick exits following the play-off final defeat at Leeds.

Unfortunately, Leeds won’t be able to pay the kind of fees the trio could all fetch this summer, so the free agent market is certainly somewhere they should look.

There are plenty of players in both the Premier League and Championship whose contracts expire this month who could represent excellent deals.

Leeds have already been linked with one of their own in Fulham’s Bobby De Cordova-Reid, but now, according to Team Talk, they have also joined the race for Callum O’Hare.

Leeds are said to be battling both Southampton and Burnley for the attacking midfielder, who is yet to agree a new deal at Coventry City and looks increasingly likely to leave on a free.

The report also says that Leeds have been keeping an eye on O’Hare’s situation for some time and are now ready to make the move amid uncertainty over his contract.

Who is Leeds target Callum O’Hare?

O’Hare is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in the Championship and, after overcoming a knee injury at the start of the season, scored nine goals in all competitions last term.

After progressing through Villa’s academy, O’Hare made 182 appearances in total for Coventry, helping them to promotion from both League One and League Two.

A potential obstacle to understanding could be the injury problems he has endured over the past two years, the most recent of which was a serious knee ligament injury.

However, the number 10 role is clearly a position Leeds need strength in depth next season and following the return of Brenden Aaronson earlier this week, he would represent another great option.
