Leeds United 'to watch' £40m Liam Delap as Ermedin Demirovic deal slips away | OneFootball

Leeds United’s hunt for a marquee centre-forward is set for a frantic finale, with Ermedin Demirovic edging towards Türkiye and interest in Liam Delap intensifying before the deadline.

According to talkSPORT, Leeds and Nottingham Forest remain in the frame for Chelsea striker Delap, valued at about £40m, and he is one to watch in the closing days.

Leeds have tracked Demirovic since last year as a robust focal point for Daniel Farke’s attack, but the pursuit now looks to be slipping as Galatasaray push to conclude talks with VfB Stuttgart.

Farke has said recruitment work is ongoing behind the scenes, stressing the need to match ambition with prudence and to avoid public noise that could inflate fees.

With primary options thinning and the clock ticking, Leeds must pivot quickly if they are to land a premium target. Whatever happens with Delap, and with Joe Gelhardt and Joel Piroe already out of the club, the Whites are certain to add a striker before the window shuts.
