Leeds United Want to Sign Stoke City Star Million Manhoef

Leeds United are interested in signing Stoke City winger Million Manhoef as they look to rebuild their attack, according to TEAMtalk.
The Whites have seen several first-team stars leave the club after they failed to earn promotion back to the Premier League last season, faltering at the final hurdle as they suffered defeat to Southampton in the playoff final.
Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, Glen Kamara and Charlie Cresswell have all been sold while several others have moved on either on loan or were released at the end of their contract and Daniel Farke is now keen to strengthen the squad further ahead of the transfer deadline on August 30th.
Leeds Want Million Manhoef
Gnonto could follow Summerville out of the door
Elland Road chiefs have been pushing for a deal with Norwich City for winger Jonathan Rowe, with the 49ers previously confident they could seal a deal with their Championship rivals.
However, Fabrizio Romano told GMS exclusively that Marseille are also in the race and the player is said to be “pushing” for a move abroad instead, which has left Farke eyeing alternative options to strengthen the wide positions.
According to TEAMtalk, Stoke City winger Million Manhoef has emerged as a target for the Whites but they face competition from several other Championship clubs. Manhoef only joined Stoke in January 2024 but made an immediate impact as he scored four goals and registered one assist in 14 appearances.
The 22-year-old Dutch winger, who has been described as “tricky” previously, has three years remaining on his contract and according to the report, the Potters would likely demand a fee worth in excess of £10million to allow him to leave.
Whether Leeds would be willing to go that high remains to be seen, but with Everton still interested in Wilfried Gnonto and Summerville already gone there is money to spend and a necessity to bring in a new forward.
