Leeds United are interested in signing Everton midfielder Abdullai Dukole, who will become a free agent this summer.
According to a report by AfricaFoot, Leeds is keen on the experienced Premier League midfielder, who has made 277 appearances on top flights with Everton and Watford. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can secure agreement with players in the coming weeks.
Abdoulaye Doucure improves Leeds
He has the experience and quality to improve Leeds in the middle of the park, and the opportunity to join a newly promoted club could be exciting for players as well. Doucoure has 21 goals and 14 assists for Everton.
Mari International wants to compete at the highest level, and staying in Leeds and the Premier League would be ideal for him. He adds physicality, drive and defensive cover to Leeds United’s midfield.
The whites are on track this season in the championships, but they need to improve if they want to survive in the Premier League. Signing an experienced player like Doucure can prove to be a wise decision. Leeds hopes to establish himself as a regular in the Premier League and needs to be improved appropriately.
Like a Rome keyed in on the star of Everton
Meanwhile, the report argues that Leeds faces competition as Rome for Everton’s midfielder. What players will decide is yet to be known. Rome will also be an attractive destination for players. They are one of the biggest clubs in Italy and the opportunity to join them can be difficult to refuse.
Leeds currently lacks high-quality box-to-box midfielders and they have to do everything in their power to convince Doucole to join the club. He was able to prove that it was a very useful acquisition for them in the short term.
