Leeds United player Dan James has expressed his delight at the club’s decision to sign Joe Rodon, calling it “massive”. Rodon’s return to Leeds has been a positive move for the club, and James is thrilled to have him back.
However, Leeds United fans are still waiting for the club to make some significant signings this summer. So far, the club has focused on selling players and balancing the books, with several departures including Archie Gray, Kris Klaesson, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Kris Klaesson.
While Alex Cairns and Joe Rothwell have joined the club, they are not seen as signings that will significantly improve the starting XI. James’ delight at Rodon’s return is understandable, but fans are eager to see some new faces arrive at Elland Road.
With just 26 days left before the season opener against Portsmouth, Leeds needs to strengthen their squad. A right-back is a priority, with Gray and Connor Roberts departing, and Shackleton joining Sheffield United. Leeds is interested in signing Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United, but other areas of the squad also need attention.
Centre-back cover is needed with Liam Cooper and Cresswell gone, and competition for Junior Firpo is required. A replacement for Glen Kamara and wingers to replace Jaidon Anthony and Ian Poveda are also on the agenda.
James’ enthusiasm for Rodon’s return is a positive sign, but Leeds United fans will be hoping for some significant signings in the coming weeks to strengthen the squad for the new season.
