As Jack Clarke’s move to Spurs draws ever nearer, Leeds United are making plans on how to spend that money, and it appears as though they are looking to make a one in one out move in the nation’s capital.
Reports are coming in from LondonFootballNews that Leeds, as well as Nottingham Forest, are in the market for QPR’s Australian midfielder Massimo Luongo, with the 26-year-old about to enter the final year of his contract.
Luongo operates predominantly as a central midfielder, so Leeds fans needn’t worry about this potentially being a replacement for Kalvin Phillips. He could certainly add depth to a team that was riddled with injuries last season.
The majority of Leeds fans seem in favour of the move, although there were a few who thought that the spending spree shouldn’t just stop at one QPR player, they basically want to raid the West London club for all their best players.
Naaaaa, rather have Freeman and Eze from them.

Up for that, but can we have Eze too

Proper player. Watched him for Australia a lot. Proper player. Though, I said the same about Ideguchi when we signed him too having watched him for Japan a lot.

Really good player. Finally, great news.

Let’s start the Australian connection again it’s worked before.

Feel like we’ve been interested in him since he first played in the championship

In that case get him signed

One fan however went to very strange lengths in order to get this deal done, going so far as to appeal directly to the club’s owner Andrea Radrizzani and, even more bizarrely Marcelo Bielsa’s official translator Salim Lamrani to encourage them to get the deal signed.
@andrearadri that would be a good signing @SalimLamraniOff
