BREAKING NEWS;Leeds Loses a key player to the transfer window due to..

Leeds United will need to find different ways to replace Crysencio Summerville this season.

An output of 31 goal contributions in all competitions made him the Championship’s best player in 2023/24, and at this level, it won’t be easy to find someone within budget who can replicate those numbers.

Leeds are very much in the market for at least one new winger with both Crystal Palace’s Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, and Norwich City’s Jonathan Rowe of interest.

A deal has been agreed with Palace over a season-long-loan move for Rak-Sakyi, though it is still far from done as Sheffield United continue to lead the race.

Leeds, meanwhile, have made some progress in talks with Norwich for Rowe, but could be gazumped by Ligue 1 side Marseille, who are also keen.

Journalist makes huge Brenden Aaronson Leeds claim

Leeds do also have plenty of solutions to replace Summerville from within and the wing pairing of Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James, which is set to start against Portsmouth, is as good as any at this level.

However, having also lost Jaidon Anthony alongside Summerville, Leeds don’t have as much depth as they did last season.

Brenden Aaronson has returned from a loan spell at Union Berlin, and if pre-season is anything to go by, Farke could well use him on the left-hand-side.

Aaronson showed glimpses of what he can do in the Premier League during his one and only season at Leeds so far, and it will be very interesting to see how he performs at this level.

Speaking exclusively to LeedsUnited.News, journalist Graeme Bailey believes Aaronson has the potential to be the best player in the Championship if used correctly. If that was to happen, it would be a serious step towards replacing Summerville.

He said: “So many Leeds players have been linked but I don’t think so now. Leeds are not encouraging it and I don’t think they can afford to let too many go. We will see how it plays out, I don’t think they are in danger of losing too many now.
