Leeds United may be looking to strengthen their midfield as they attempt to explore the free market, even with the transfer window closed.
Leeds has been hearing a lot about Cheikhou Kouyate, the veteran midfielder who recently left Nottingham Forest after saving them from Premier League relegation.
The 34-year-old may soon be adding a fourth English club to his resume after spending the most of his career with West Ham United and Crystal Palace.
Kouyate is mostly accustomed to playing in the elite level and has participated in 12 UEFA Champions level games. He has never played in England’s second division.
Nevertheless, given that Adam Pope claims he has been at Thorp Arch for “several days,” may he soon be adding the strength of Leeds United to his resume?
Given Daniel Farke’s midfield injury concerns, it is not surprising that the decision-makers are considering this transfer.
Due to a knee injury, versatile player Ethan Ampadu will be out for several months, and Ilia Gruev will also be out for a considerable amount of time.
These players are essential to Leeds’ attempt to get promoted, but they are also out for extended periods of time, thus more legs are required.
