LEEDS PLAYMAKER HAS SIGNED A ONE-YEAR CONTRACT TO EXTEND HIS STAY

The Dutch news outlet reported on 27 August that Ajax have put the 24-year-old on the list of exiles ahead of the transfer deadline as they want to cash in on his services.

It’s understood that the Netherlands international would fetch Ajax “several millions” in transfer fees.

Owen Wijndal would be a solid signing for Leeds United

The 24-year-old known for his versatility and technical ability, offers a more dynamic presence on the left flank as compared to Junior Firpo.

His proficiency in both defensive and offensive phases of play could provide the Whites with a more balanced approach, enhancing their build-up play from the back while maintaining defensive solidity.

This duality in his skill set could be pivotal in the Championship, where adaptability and consistency are crucial.

Moreover, Wijndal’s age and potential for growth suggest a long-term investment and he would not be out of place in the Premier League either, should Leeds secure promotion.

His experience in European competitions adds a layer of sophistication to his game, potentially elevating the tactical options for Daniel Farke.

Given Firpo’s inconsistent form and injury history, Wijndal’s reliability and lower injury risk could ensure more game time, directly impacting Leeds’ push for promotion with his contributions across the pitch.

In other Leeds United news, the Whites have been offered another Premier League player and sources claim that a Championship loan move is very likely.

He has been viewed as one of the best talents at Selhurst Park and the London club are open to letting him leave in order to get first-team experience.

Leeds United must certainly take a chance to seal Franco Umeh-Chibueze transfer

The Whites should certainly seize the opportunity to sign the Irish teenager on loan.

Umeh-Chibueze’s profile as a versatile winger with an eye for goal could provide immediate impact in the Championship, where Leeds are aiming for promotion.
