However, given that the South Coast outfit could yet have European football to offer next term, it is vital that Leeds step up their pursuit even further, as speed could be the only way to beat them to a deal.Daniel Farke to repeat Dominic Calvert-Lewin trick with OpendaOpenda’s links with Leeds have emerged as part of the Whites’ bid to provide further competition for Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has surprised many people with his form this term. The former Everton man had seen his powers fade in recent seasons, but Daniel Farke has been able to unlock him once again, and he already has 11 league goals to his name in 2025-26.

Farke will surely have his eyes on trying to repeat that trick with Openda ahead of next season, and help another striker return to their best form.
