SHOCKING NEWS;Jesse Marsch says goodbye to Leeds united as he..

Leeds United have registered their interest in Burnley winger Manuel Benson in a fresh swoop, sources have told Football Insider.

Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, senior correspondent Pete O’Rourke confirmed that Leeds are monitoring the 27-year-old once again.

The Whites had attempted to sign Benson during the January transfer window but didn’t get a deal over the line, but Daniel Farke’s side are set to revisit the deal now.

Leeds are in the market for a winger before the 31st August cut-off after losing Crysencio Summerville to West Ham earlier this summer.

The West Yorkshire giants are also set to lose Georginio Rutter after Brighton triggered his £40million release clause.

They are now looking to replace those creative stars and see Benson as someone who could fulfil that.

Leeds want Manuel Benson’s attacking qualities

Benson thrived when Burnley won the Championship in 2022-23, scoring 11 goals in 33 matches.

However, he struggled for game time last season in the Premier League and only made eight appearances throughout the campaign.

The winger’s contract with the Clarets runs until 2027, which puts the club in a strong negotiating position.

Football Insider revealed that Stoke City’s Million Manhoef is also on the target list of wingers that Leeds are considering.

The Whites have the money available due to the number of sales they have made throughout the summer.

In other news, Rangers stance on selling Matondo to Leeds.

Football Insider had previously reported that the Gers were waiting on Champions League qualification before making big-money signings, with the club missing out on around £40million in revenue after failing to do so.

Leeds are in the market for a winger before the transfer window shuts as Daniel Farke looks to replace Crysencio Summerville, who joined West Ham earlier this month.
