Leeds United News Roundup: Llorente’s Future, Nketiah’s Price Tag, and Play-Off Predictions
As Leeds United prepare for their Championship play-off semi-final against Norwich City, several news stories have emerged from Elland Road. Here’s a roundup of the latest headlines.
Diego Llorente’s Future
Roma are reportedly ready to make Diego Llorente’s loan move permanent this summer. The Serie A side will enter talks with Leeds over the summer but are only willing to pay a ‘relatively low’ fee. Llorente has been a regular starter for Roma this season, and manager Daniele De Rossi is a fan of his technical quality. However, Leeds signed Llorente in 2020 for around £18m, and the reported £4m fee would represent a significant loss.
Eddie Nketiah’s Price Tag
Arsenal are reportedly prepared to sell Eddie Nketiah this summer if they can sign a new forward first. The Gunners will ask for between £30-35m for the striker, who is attracting interest from across the Premier League. Nketiah has made 37 appearances for Arsenal this season but rarely been involved in the starting line-up. Crystal Palace and Wolves are among the sides eyeing a potential move.
Play-Off Predictions
Leeds United fans have been sharing their predictions for the play-offs first leg against Norwich City. Some fans believe Leeds have an ‘advantage’ due to their previous wins over Norwich this season, while others think it will be a tough game.
