Updates surrounding the latest transfer updates around Leeds United as Cameron Archer is back on the scene.

Leeds United revive interest in Cameron Archer
One of the priorities mentioned is a striker, as Farke doesn’t seem completely satisfied with Joel Piroe.
This has turned the attention to the Southampton striker once again, as Leeds wanted Archer as a ‘number one target’ in January.

Now, with the Saints being relegated, the 23-year-old could once again be a target for the Whites.

Leeds set to battle Chelsea for goalkeeper Brazao
A major concern for Farke this window will be finding a new goalkeeper, with Illan Meslier not settling for second choice.
It seems like the perfect time for Meslier to move on, but this now leaves the 49ers searching for a goalkeeper.
Nick Pope has emerged as a likely option, but now our very own Graeme Bailey spoke to LeedsUnited.News revealing that Leeds want Brazilian shotstopper Brazao.
The 24-year-old Santos keeper is the subject of interest from the Whites, but Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea are also interested, as a Premier League transfer battle is set to take place.

Expected bid for Nico Elvedi ‘in the coming days’ from Leeds
A name which has been firmly on the Whites’ radar for a while now is Nico Elvedi.
Farke knows the Swiss centre-back all too well from his short stint managing Borussia Mönchengladbach, and it’s been clear for a while that Farke wants a reunion with Elvedi at Leeds.
With targets coming and going, the 28-year-old has seemed to always stick with Leeds, and now a first bid could be submitted for Elvedi very soon.
According to Jacobs, who spoke to Last Word on Spurs, a bid is expected from the 49ers in the ‘coming days’, making for an exciting first development at Elland Road this window.
