Leeds United may have bolstered their midfield with Sean Longstaff and Anton Stach, but their transfer activity for central options may not be over just yet, IsaGoal can report.
After a steady start to the window, Leeds accelerated their business by bringing in Longstaff from Newcastle and Stach from Hoffenheim, as initially reported by Fotomac.
Those two deals set the club back over £30million, trimming their estimated £150million summer war chest—but midfield depth remains a concern, especially with Ilia Gruev now out of favour.
One name Leeds have monitored throughout is Club Brugge’s Raphael Onyedika, a Nigerian international drawing attention across Europe.
Earlier links to Leeds faded when the club shifted its focus, but Onyedika remains on their radar as other clubs circle.
Fenerbahce entered the race with a €12million (£10.4million) bid, though Brugge swiftly rejected the approach, believing the valuation to fall short.
Despite their midfield deals, Leeds may yet return for Onyedika—especially if Gruev exits in the coming weeks.
Daniel Farke’s current focus now appears to be elsewhere, with key targets believed to include a new goalkeeper, a number 10, and a striker.
Brenden Aaronson could still leave, keeping creative midfielders like Emi Buendia and Gustavo Hamer firmly in Leeds’ sights.
Even after heavy spending, the club is expected to stay active, and Onyedika’s situation remains one worth tracking.
