Leeds United are preparing a second bid to capture Southampton striker Cameron Archer, according to TeamTalk.
According to the web publication, the Whites are willing to spend somewhat more than £15 million and are certain that the attacker will accept a move to Elland Road (Adam Pope).
Leeds have already had an initial loan bid rejected by the Premier League club, which prefers to wait until the summer to consider their alternatives.
Daniel Farke and his staff are hoping Archer’s willingness to move forces them to make a decision before February 3.
Leeds United prepares new Cameron Archer bid.
Despite repeating throughout January that he expects a calm month, Farke appears to be making his move in the winter transfer window.
The deadline has been pushed back to Monday, February 3, giving you an extra few hours to close deals.
Archer’s unexpected appearance is also not surprising, given that the 49ers are working in silence until these deals are practically finalized at Elland Road.
Leeds would not return with another bid unless Archer or Southampton expressed trust in them; otherwise, they would go on.
Paraag Marathe and the 49ers are not messing around; they have made that clear, and if a new number nine is provided in the coming days, promotion may be ensured.
This is the primary one to watch before the deadline, with mentions of a new defensive option as well, though this must be the priority (Sky Sports).
