Sport nationLeeds United has entered the race to sign Bournemouth forward Daniel Jebbison on loan, according to Graeme Bailey. While the Whites missed out on signing him permanently, they are eager to secure his services temporarily. Sunderland also wants to sign Jebbison, showing a stronger interest than Leeds, with the goal of making him the lead attacker under Regis Le Bris.
Any deal allowing Jebbison to leave Bournemouth will be a straight loan deal without an option or obligation to buy, as the Cherries want to retain him permanently. Leeds needs a new center-forward, as current options have struggled to deliver consistently. Georginio Rutter is an exceptional talent but didn’t score regularly last term, while Joel Piroe failed to impress despite his big-money transfer.
Patrick Bamford shone in the second half of the season but has struggled with injuries throughout his career, making him unlikely to be available every week. Mateo Joseph is still unproven at this level, making Jebbison a valuable addition to Leeds’ attack. However, Bournemouth wants him to play regular first-team football if loaned out, which may be more readily available at Sunderland than Leeds.
Jebbison’s potential signing would add a different dimension to Leeds’ attack, boosting their promotion race. Leeds manager Daniel Farke wants to strengthen his attacking options, and Jebbison’s loan deal could be a shrewd move. The young forward may not have played extensively, but he is regarded as a bright talent. If Leeds can secure his services, it would be a significant coup for the Whites.
In other Leeds news, a young defender has gone on trial and may leave the Whites on loan this summer. As the transfer window heats up, Leeds fans will be keeping a close eye on developments. The potential addition of Jebbison could strengthen Leeds’ squad and provide a boost to their Championship campaign. With Farke’s leadership and Jebbison’s talent, the Whites could be a force to be reckoned with in the promotion race.
