Leeds United have received a transfer boost ahead of the summer as an “unplayable” forward target has been made available for transfer, according to a recent report.
Leeds transfer news
The Whites have had to wait all weekend to be back in Championship action, as they travel to Bramall Lane on Monday to face promotion rivals Sheffield United. Leeds hold a two-point gap over the Blades and a four-point lead over third-place Burnley, so Daniel Farke will know a win on Monday night and they could have one foot in the Premier League.

As they look to be closing in on their return to the topflight, transfer speculation has intensified in the last week, with Leeds being linked with several new strikers, as Farke looks to bolster his forward line. Sunderland’s Wilson Isidor has emerged as a potential target for Leeds, and Carlton Palmer thinks this would be a fantastic move for both the club and the player.
Palmer said: “Spurs, Leeds, and Crystal Palace have all been linked with Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor. He’s having a fantastic time at Sunderland. He’s settled down now; he’s scored 12 league goals this season.
“He was outstanding against Leeds United in that defeat for Sunderland. The defeat for Sunderland sees them eight points behind Sheffield United in second place, so automatics are gone now. As I said at the start of the season, I fancied Leeds and Sheffield United to go up. I think that’s done and dusted now.
“Leeds getting promoted, that would be a fantastic move for them, for both parties, because he would get game time and he has shown his composure. Leeds will need quality to stay up when they eventually do get promotion sealed.”
Leeds receive boost as "unplayable" ace available for £10-15m
As well as looking to sign a new striker, the Whites are also keen on signing Manor Solomon, who is on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. Now Leeds’ chances of signing the winger have been boosted as Spurs have made him available for transfer, according to Give Me Sport.
The report states that Spurs are willing to sell Solomon in the summer and would be looking to get between £10-15 million for him. Leeds are interested in signing the winger on a permanent basis, given his importance for them this season, but they also face competition from Everton, who are keeping an eye on his situation.
Solomon, who has been described as “unplayable” by former Leeds boss Neil Redfearn, has scored seven goals in 26 Championship appearances this season ahead of Monday’s fixture. The Israel international has started the last nine league games before the Sheffield United match, and if the Whites are promoted to the Premier League, it is likely Farke would like to make the player a permanent part of his team.

The decision for Spurs to sell Solomon shouldn’t really come as a surprise, as he’s only played six times for the club, and they all came in the early parts of last season before he picked up his meniscus injury. The 25-year-old does have other experience in the Premier League, as he played 19 games for Fulham in the 2022/23 season, scoring four goals in the process.
