Leeds United are looking to add to their midfield ranks this week but Ao Tanaka will not be joining the club
Daniel Farke is still pushing hard to add to his Leeds United squad, but it seems a move for Ao Tanaka is now off the table. Leeds United had identified Fortuna Dusseldorf midfielder Tanaka as a potential option this summer as they look to add to their midfield ranks before tomorrow night’s deadline.
The report claims Farke is still an admirer of Tanaka, but after conversations at Elland Road, the decision has been made as a club to push on with other interests as they enter the final day and a half of the window. As such, as it stands, it seems the midfielder could be staying put in the German second tier.
Matt O’Riley of Celtic and Rangers’ Glen Kamara are known to be targets, while Kenny McLean of Norwich City has also been linked with a switch to join Farke at Elland Road. Leeds won’t be signing Lewis O’Brien, though, with the Nottingham Forest man completing a season-long loan move to Middlesbrough, who have also snapped up versatile Leeds youngster Sam Greenwood on a season-long loan.
