Amina UmarLeeds United is in a intense transfer battle with Brighton to sign Ghanaian forward Edmund Baidoo from Sogndal Fotball, according to Sports World Ghana. The 18-year-old attacker has impressed in the Norwegian second tier, scoring nine goals and providing seven assists so far this season.
Both Leeds United and Brighton have made contact with Sogndal over a transfer for Baidoo, who is under contract until 2027. Brighton appears to lead the race to sign Baidoo this summer, but Leeds United is eager to add the young attacker to their squad.Leeds United’s pursuit of Baidoo is seen as a move to strengthen their attack, particularly out wide. With Crysencio Summerville likely to leave the club this summer, Baidoo could be a ready-made replacement.
Summerville, the Championship Player of the Year, is attracting interest from Premier League clubs, including Brighton, Liverpool, and Chelsea.While Brighton’s interest in Summerville could impact Leeds United’s chances of signing Baidoo, the Whites are determined to add the young attacker to their squad. Beating Brighton to Baidoo’s signature would be a significant coup for Daniel Farke’s side, given the Seagulls’ impressive track record of youth development.
Baidoo’s performances in Norway have caught the eye of several European clubs, including Celtic and Club Brugge. However, Leeds United and Brighton appear to be the front-runners in the race to sign the Ghanaian forward.Leeds United fans will be hoping that the club can secure Baidoo’s signature and bring him to Elland Road. The young attacker’s potential is undeniable, and his addition to the squad could be a significant boost to the team’s chances of promotion next season.
In conclusion, Leeds United’s pursuit of Edmund Baidoo is an exciting development in the transfer window. The young attacker has shown significant potential in Norway, and his addition to the Leeds United squad could be a valuable one. Only time will tell if Leeds can secure his signature and bring him to Elland Road.
