Leeds Chase stars have more PL goals than Raphinha

Leeds United knows they could have been promoted to the Premier League on Monday night if the results continued to move forward during Easter.

The whites are currently third in Sheffield United and will officially advance if they win the game and the blades drop in both games.

Daniel Farke’s side last beat Preston North End 2-1 on Elland Road to ensure they’re able to get their jobs in the next few days and can now get some luck from others.

Whites will still have a lot of work to do to win the championship because they currently maintain their level with Burnley’s points, but the main purpose of the promotion could have been secured.

Farke and his staff can then start thinking about the 2025/26 campaign plan and how they will build squads that can avoid immediate relegation to the Premier League.

It would be particularly interesting if they currently have a lot of numbers in Brenden Aaronson’s traditional way of building a midfield in top flight.

How Leeds United’s midfielder thinks about the Premier League

The US International’s underperformance this season shows that he will be excellent enough to play Leeds in the Premier League 4-2-3-1 system with an offensive midfielder.

As shown in the table below, Aaronson has been unable to play the highest quality of the stadium in the top six in the championship game against other teams.

Given that the script will flip for Leeds next season, fighting at the bottom of the table instead of the top, Farke can play the midfield setup with AO Tanaka in front of two holding midfielders to play with AO Tanaka.

Japan International scored four goals in the midfield role this season and provided threats in the final third, but he also made 3.6 tackles and interceptions per game, meaning he could provide a layer of defensive protection for the whites.

This will then make Ethan Ampadu a defensive midfielder with another physical executor and demonstrate his defensive skills on their defensive skills and won 61% of his games this semester.

The Wales International can provide solid business at the midfield base, and Leeds is reportedly interested in a star who can complete the midfield setup with Ampadu and Tanaka.

Leeds pays attention to Premier League Giant

According to Claret and Hugh, Leeds are about to have a summer breeze, signing West Ham defensive midfielder Tomas Soucek in front of the summer transfer window.

Fark is said to be a fan of the Czech International International team and if he is promoted, he will identify him as a possible target for the Premier League team next season.

Claret and Hugh quoted “transfer insiders” to reveal that Leeds are watching Soucek and Irish striker Evan Ferguson, who is on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion’s London Stadium.

“Leeds are planning next season – Daniel Farke has started preparing for the summer window. He likes Souček but has offered him a Premier League offer. I think the same is true for Ferguson, who will play games there too.”

The claim to have offered another Premier League offer to the former Slavia Prague midfielder, suggesting that it is not an easy task for the 49ers, but they should push him to bring him in as he could be a great addition to his midfield supplement Ampadu.

Why should Leeds sign Thomas Sussek

Since moving to London in the summer of 2020, Soucek has been a regular in the Premier League, providing a mix of sport, experience and quality in the middle of the park.

Despite being a defensive midfielder, the Towering Colosse scored 39 goals in all West Ham’s matches, including 34 goals in 188 Premier League games.

This means he scored higher in the Premier League than former Leeds star and current Barcelona superstar Raphinha, who scored 17 goals in 65 top matches in England.

Although Soucek played more games in the division than Brazil International, his output at the top of the court made him a huge threat compared to his position.

This could make him the ideal partner for Ampadu, who scored just two goals in 82 games in Leeds to make up for the Welshman’s lack of quality as a midfielder.

Soucek’s defensive determination is described as “magnificent” by Trevor Sinclair, and is also a proven Premier League midfielder when it comes to do the dirty effort.

As you can see in the table above, Czech International ranked well with many key defensive metrics among his companions in the division.

He rarely loses the challenge or allows players to dribble over him and is dominant in the box, winning regular air confrontations.

So, thanks to his experience in the department, Soucek is probably the perfect signing for Leeds in the summer, with the best part of 200 games in the league, the goal threat he can offer from the midfield, as well as the defensive quality that puts opposition teams in a stumbling position.

Fark will then be able to send midfielders including Soucek and Ampadu to the base, and Tanaka connects the midfield and frontline.
