Leeds United are now racing and signing the £20 million Championship Star. He scored more goals than fellow target Gustavo Hammer in the 2024-25 campaign.
As Leeds secures the 2024-25 Championship title, they are now at Liberty to raid some of their previous rivals for the best.
Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hammer is one of the potential targets, and white people are said to be currently planning the move for the Brazilian-born midfielder.
It’s no wonder Daniel Fark’s side is eager to the 27 year old considering the level of Blade’s performance.

But Hammer says that not only did the championship attackers on Leeds’ shortlist, but that reports from the Sun took part in a race signing Middlesbrough star Finn Azaz alongside AFC Bournemouth and Crystal Palace.
Michael Carrick is likely to be reluctant to lose Azaz, given his level of performance over the past two seasons, and is thought to be valued at £20 million. This means that a white person has to pay a considerable fee for his services.
However, the Irishman is considered high on his shopping list, and the move to the Premier League was able to appeal to the attacking midfielder, given that he certainly has the opportunity to prove himself on top flights.

Azaz surpasses Hammer in the championship
In fact, at age 24, the Maestro could enter his prime year, and his performance in the championship last season suggested he could make a real impact at the Premier League level, bringing together 12 goals and 11 assists on 45 outings.
Irish International surpassed Hammer in terms of attack count, and has now reached the 83rd percentile for assists per 90 over the past year when compared to other attacking midfielders and wingers.
So there was a controversy that the London-born attacker was overlooked at the end of the season award, but his omission could have something to do with the fact that Middlesbrough finished 10th.
Azaz’s offensive quality wasn’t enough to protect Boro in the playoff spot, but he could make a real difference for Leeds to avoid being relegated next season.
