Leeds United Makes Failed Bid for Hamer

Leeds United is facing a crucial final stretch of the transfer window with ambitions to finalize at least three new signings. After a rejected £13 million bid for Sheffield United midfielder Gustavo Hamer, Leeds is reportedly shifting focus towards FC Koln's Dejan Ljubicic, having had an initial offer of £8 million declined. Manager Chris Wilder of Sheffield United has emphasized the importance of retaining Hamer, who is vital for their promotion efforts after the expiration of his release clause. Additionally, Leeds is set to sign Manor Solomon on loan from Tottenham, adding to their attacking options. The squad has been weakened by significant departures, prompting urgent recruitment efforts by manager Daniel Farke. With four days remaining until the transfer deadline, Leeds is under pressure to bolster their ranks amidst fierce competition in the Championship.
