Amina UmarLeeds United’s Search for a Winger Could End with Liam Millar’s International SwitchLeeds United’s hunt for a winger may soon come to an end, as reports suggest that Liam Millar is set to leave Basel and return to England in a permanent move.
The Canadian international, who impressed on loan at Preston North End last season, has been linked with a move to Elland Road. Sheffield United are also said to be interested in the 24-year-old, who is currently on Copa America duty with Canada.Millar’s versatility as a winger, able to play on either flank, would provide Leeds United manager Daniel Farke with flexibility in his attack. This trait was on display during Canada’s 1-0 win over Peru in the Copa America, where Millar started and played the first 45 minutes. His ability to play on both wings could mean that Leeds United may not need to search for another transfer target, making him a valuable asset to the team.
Leeds United are in need of wingers, with Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto potentially leaving the club. Summerville has been linked with a big-money move to Brighton and Crystal Palace, while Gnonto has attracted interest from Everton. Dan James, the Welsh international, is likely to remain at the club, but Leeds United will need to strengthen their attack if they are to challenge for promotion next season.
Millar’s potential signing would be a boost to Leeds United’s attack, and his experience playing in the Championship would be invaluable. His loan spell at Preston North End last season saw him impress, and his return to England could be a shrewd move by Leeds United.As the transfer window heats up, Leeds United fans will be keeping a close eye on developments surrounding Millar and other potential targets.
With pre-season approaching, Farke will need to finalize his plans and make key decisions on strengthening the squad. Whether Millar becomes a Leeds United player remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – the transfer saga will continue to unfold in the coming weeks.
