Writing on his personal Twitter account (28 July), the Belgian journalist reports that the Whites are in the race for the 23-year-
The player is said to be “high on the wishlist” at Elland Road and while no concrete offer has been made for the player yet, at least one of the club’s is preparing on
“A boy who can count on the necessary interest and is open to a transfer is Francis Amuzu,” they wrote on their website.

The arrival of a forward in the wide areas is certainly not something that Leeds need to be prioritising in this transfer window, unless they’re expecting an exit or two.
Right now Daniel Farke has Wilfried Gnonto, Crysencio Summerville, Jack Harrison, Georginio Rutter, Ian Poveda and
The club are said to have “closed the door” on Gnonto’s exit and Harrison is injured, but the rest are likely to be at the club for the opening game of the season unless something drastic happens.
Amuzu is quick and tricky and can play in a high-energy team, and at 23 there is plenty of room for improvement and development that Leeds like in a signing.
But his arrival would surely mean there is an exit on the cards, and fans will be hoping that it isn’t one of the better players in that list of previously mentioned options as they want to push for promotion.
There’s been a deafening silence at Elland Road since Leeds United saw their relegation to the Premier League confirmed on Sunday afternoon.

There are many reasons why Leeds are in the Championship again. You can start at the top with Andrea Radrizzani, who’s exit plan from Elland Road has been in place for quite some time. Had he just sold up to 49ers Enterprises a while back or at least had a clear transitional process mapped out, things may have been different.
Victor Orta’s recruitment failure – in terms of both players and managers – has also played a role. He didn’t help himself with some truly pathetic behaviour in the directors’ box at Elland Road, making him an easy target for fans. But his work was so obviously hampered by Radrizzani and the 49ers pulling him in opposite directions
Jesse Marsch, Javi Gracia and Sam Allardyce can also have the finger pointed at them.
