Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Wednesday, September 6.
Brugge make Struijk decision
Beligan outfit Club Brugge have opted against a late move for Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk, according to reports in Europe. Having finished fourth in the Belgian Pro League last season, they were looking to strengthen their defensive unit, and had reportedly identified Struijk as an option.
The defender has impressed under Daniel Farke so far this season, but with the Belgian transfer window open until today, Leeds were wary of any late bid. However, Brugge have announced they won’t be making any more signings.
“Club Brugge closes its summer after signing Hugo Vetlesen, Philip Zinckernagel, Michal Skoras, Victor Barbera, Nordin Jackers, Maxim De Cuyper (return to Westerlo) and Igor Thiago,” a club statement said. “In addition, Joel Ordonez , Kyriani Sabbe and Chemsdine Talbi were permanently promoted to the first team.”
Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick is looking forward to seeing Leeds United loanee Sam Greenwood in action following his switch from Elland Road.
The youngster has joined Boro for the remainder of the season, and former Manchester United midfielder is keen to work with the former Sunderland and Arsenal man.
“Sam is a really exciting talent,” Carrick said. “I say talent in the best possible way because I think he’s got huge potential. He’s creative and strong with both feet, so we’ll certainly be looking to get the best out of him in those attacking areas. We want him to be positive and show the threat that he can have.”
