Daniel Farke could raid the Vitality Stadium as Leeds United continue to strengthen their squad for the Premier League campaign.

Bournemouth have lost several key players over the last few weeks, including Dean Huijsen, Milos Kerkez, Illia Zabarnyi, and, most recently, Dango Ouattara, who has joined Brentford this week.

The Whites have also done their fair share of spending this summer, signing Noah Okafor from AC Milan on Thursday, 21 August, joining Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Lucas Perri, and Anton Stach, to name just a few.

However, there are still obvious weaknesses in the squad, especially after Ethan Ampadu’s brutal injury blow against Everton, and Leeds are attempting to make a deal with the Cherries to address one of them.

Jayden Bogle, who arrived at Elland Road from Sheffield United last summer, remains the club’s only natural right-back, but that could be fixed with the signing of 23-year-old James Hill.

The full-back, who can also deputise in the centre of defence, has struggled for game time at the Vitality Stadium, and is now being given an opportunity for more minutes on the pitch.

“The 23-year-old plays predominantly as a centre-back but can also cover at right-back.

Leeds are looking to sign a full-back,” as Jayden Bogle is the only natural option on the right flank.
