Leeds United are looking to explore any way they can make more profit in the future, and Mohammed Kudus might have just provided it.
The 49ers are slowly but surely carrying out their master plan at Leeds.
Four signings have represented good value for money, with just over £30m spent on Leeds’ proposed £150m budget.
It seems as though the window is just starting while other clubs are making money moves, such as Tottenham’s £55m pursuit of Mohammed Kudus.

Although it might not seem relevant to Leeds, it actually could benefit the Whites more than you think.

Leeds United can gain £9m windfall after Mohammed Kudus news
Kudus is obviously the type of player Leeds want to aspire to go for one day.
The hope is that this will happen with Paraag Marathe aiming for Europe at Leeds, and as aforementioned, any additional funds can help plan this.

This is where former Whites player Crysencio Summerville comes in.
Although it’s been a rocky start to Summerville’s £25m move to West Ham, the tide might be turning for the Dutchman.
After just one goal all season, the 23-year-old will be looking to have a serious improvement, and can now do so with Kudus’ absence.
Summerville will no doubt get more chances under Graham Potter, and this could then benefit Leeds due to the bonuses for Leeds included in the winger’s contract.
Summerville has add-ons totalling £9m, and as they relate to performance-related scenarios, the Dutchman getting more game time works out well.
Leeds can still gain £5m from overall performance-related add-ons, and £4m on top of that if he receives a call-up to the Netherlands senior squad.
It’s certainly one to keep an eye on this season, as Leeds can earn a tidy amount due to their past negotiations.

Summerville can prove Leeds fans wrong after frustrations
With the opportunity now there for Summerville to shine, he can not only benefit himself, but his former club as well.
The Leeds fanbase know how good the Dutchman can be, and hopefully, the winger has gotten past his injury issues and can replicate brilliant moments in the Premier League.
However, despite his success, Summerville didn’t feel appreciated by Leeds fans and could be set to prove a section of the Whites fanbase wrong next campaign.
It would seem that if Summerville performs, Leeds are happy, as a £9m windfall could fall into the 49ers’ pockets, but the Dutchman will no doubt be hoping to prove to his doubters that he’s the real deal.
