Leeds United is on the verge of confirming the permanent sale of Glen Kamara to Stade Rennais, and the club is already planning to sign a replacement. Kamara’s exit leaves Leeds light in midfield, and manager Daniel Farke is keen to bring in a new player to strengthen the squad.
According to Planet Sport, Leeds has identified Tottenham’s Oliver Skipp as the ideal replacement for Kamara. Skipp, who played under Farke at Norwich City, is said to be keen on a move to Leeds. However, Tottenham rejected Leeds’ approach earlier in the window, and it remains to be seen whether they will consider a loan-to-buy deal.
Farke has praised Skipp in the past, saying: “My actions speak louder than my words. He plays each and every second for more or less each and every game for such a good side. He’s a top player and also a top character.” Skipp’s experience and quality would make him an excellent addition to Leeds’ midfield.
However, it’s unclear whether Leeds can secure a deal for Skipp, given Tottenham’s reluctance to let him go. The club may need to consider other options to strengthen their midfield, but Skipp remains the top target.
