Prior to the summer transfer window, there is a lot of interest in both Crysencio Summerville and Archie Gray from transfer agencies.
The Whites’ 1-0 loss to Southampton last Sunday prevented them from being promoted to the Premier League.
Adam Armstrong’s goal decided the match between the two teams at Wembley Stadium, where they played for a spot in the top division.
Now that a squad is ready to compete for promotion the following season, Daniel Farke will have to deal with transfer interest in important players.
The inability of Summerville and Gray to receive promotions will further strain their futures with the team, as they have both been linked to moves away from Elland Road.
According to Romano, Summerville and Gray will probably move in the forthcoming summer transfer market.
He has brought attention to the 18-year-old’s interest from Germany and England, mentioning Arsenal as one of the teams hoping to capture the young player.
According to Romano, via the Daily Briefing, “Archie Gray at Leeds United has been linked with a number of clubs, including Arsenal.”
There is undoubtedly interest in Gray from England and Germany.
“Yes, I expect movement on these two players and we will see how Leeds reacts. Leeds were hoping to keep both Gray and Crysencio Summerville, but it might be difficult now that they missed out on promotion to the Premier League.”
This season, Gray made his debut against Cardiff City back in August and quickly made an impact on Farke, breaking into the first team lineup.
He demonstrated that he was prepared to advance to senior football by earning game time through his performances.
The adolescent’s adaptability was also evident, as the midfielder could fill in at right back when necessary.
He helped Leeds finish third in the Championship standings by making 44 appearances during the regular season, including 40 starts (all stats from Fbref).
Summerville’s performances in the Championship for Farke’s club earned him the EFL Player of the Year title.
The Dutchman received a great deal of praise for his 19 goals and 9 assists.
Given his importance to the team, Leeds would be severely harmed by a move away from Elland Road, especially as they intend to aim for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
Although selling Summerville and Gray could improve the team’s financial position, the Yorkshire team will also wish to keep both of these significant players past this summer.
Leeds will be playing in the Championship next season, therefore this transfer issue is expected to take a while to wrap up.
The club will need to decide whether to cash in or publicly state that they are not interested in selling at any price.
If not, rumors will probably continue until the window closes, which will be an unwelcome diversion throughout the preseason and the season’s first few games.
Although it will be tough for the players to pass up the chance to join with teams like Aston Villa, Bayern Munich, or Arsenal, it is unclear whether Leeds and the players can agree on a fee.
