Leeds can make a statement signing this summer that could fire them back to the Premier League.

The Whites have already made some solid additions so far in the window, with Joe Rodon and Jayden Bogle perhaps the pick of the bunch.

Though, they’re still keen to reinforce as Daniel Farke aims to right the wrongs of last season, which saw them fall away towards the end.

With that said, they’re now being linked with a striker who could win them the Championship.

Sammie Szmodics could fire Leeds to promotion

Leeds and Ipswich are being linked with a move for Blackburn Rovers’ attacking midfielder Sammie Szmodics.

The Tractor Boys seem to be leading the chase but as it stands, no deal has been agreed as the two clubs remain apart in their valuations.

If Leeds can hijack the deal and bring him to Elland Road this summer, it could win them the Championship.

Szmodics netted a whopping 27 league goals last term and scooped the Golden Boot award, so naturally, if he were to link up with Farke, there’s a good chance he could replicate that form.

Sammie Szmodics price tag

Szmodics has just a year left on his deal at Ewood Park so Blackburn won’t be able to demand much more than £10m for his signature.

Ipswich have seen a £6m bid rejected and it’s claimed Rovers are holding out for £8m – which is a feasible fee for Leeds.

Perhaps if they can pitch him a convincing project, with Premier League football as the goal in 12 months time, he could opt to join the West Yorkshire giants.

In other news, Leeds now want to sign £10m player who made his leagues Team of the Season last term.
