Leeds 'in the mix' for striker as James Trafford deal could sanction move

Daniel Farke has already added two new signings to his squad ahead of the return of Premier League football, and there continue to be rumours of more new additions in the weeks ahead.

Tarik Muharemovic and Harry Wilson have both signed for Leeds this summer, and now a report has emerged claiming that another could be on the horizon.

Sky Germany journalist Dennis Bayer has claimed that Demirovic, 28, has emerged as a target for Leeds this summer as they look to strengthen the centre-forward position.

The report claims that Leeds are “in the mix” to sign Demirovic and are joined by Juventus and Fenerbahce, who have also been mentioned in the report as having an interest.

It remains unclear at this point if Demirovic will go on to leave Stuttgart this summer, with the striker facing an uncertain future with plenty of interest in his signature.

Demirovic scored 15 goals for Stuttgart last season across all competitions, 12 of which came in the Bundesliga, and also starred for Bosnia & Herzegovina at the World Cup this summer.

The update on Demirovic comes amid rumours that Leeds are in talks to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford this summer.

Trafford joined City last summer from Burnley and went on to play a key role in the club winning the Carabao Cup with an impressive performance against Arsenal in the final at Wembley Stadium.

The 23-year-old featured 17 times for City across his debut season at the Etihad Stadium, which has led to speculation that a move away from the FA Cup winners could be on the cards this summer.

Trafford was part of the England squad at this summer’s World Cup that reached the semi-final and was also reportedly a target for Newcastle this summer.
