Leeds United’s next opponents Sheffield Wednesday target Premier League transfer ahead of Elland Road visit
There could be further activity at both clubs ahead of Leeds United’s home game against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
Sheffield Wednesday could have a new face in their squad ahead of Saturday’s visit to Leeds United after Owls manager Xisco Munoz revealed he is ‘working hard’ to add to his ranks.
The former Watford boss has already enjoyed a productive summer transfer window after completing moves for the likes of Paris Saint-Germain winger Djeidi Gassama, Manchester United defender Di’Shon Bernard and Blackpool full-back Reece James after he was named as successor to Darren Moore.
On Saturday they looked set to pick up their first point of the season but conceded a penalty deep into stoppage time as they were beaten 2-1 by Cardiff. Leeds, meanwhile, claimed their first Championship win, coming out on top 4-3 at Ipswich Town.
With the transfer deadline day now just days away, Munoz has revealed he is looking to the Premier League to add further quality to his squad to ‘help the situation’ they have found themselves in on their return to the Championship.
He said: “We will see what happens and we’re working hard to find some players that can come from the Premier League and help the situation. If they can make us better, good. But if not we’ll work with this squad and give 100 per cent with this squad.
“If not, I have my best squad ever, ever. I will fight with them from the first until the last second. They need to commit two million times. I know how they are working. Every day I am there. I know how much passion they put in and I was sad for them at Cardiff. If somebody can arrive, it is perfect. If nobody arrives, we fight with the 25 players we have in our squad.”
