Supporters at Elland Road will be delighted to see that the club is trying to address a priority position for Fakre.
As a result, the futures of several key stars remain up in the air. However, while it is important to raise some money and balance the books, the club must ensure they remain competitive next season.
Farke won’t want to miss out on promotion to the Premier League twice in a row having developed something of a reputation as an expert in guiding teams to the top flight of English football.
Therefore, he will want players added to his squad which will help the team remain competitive.
