Leeds United make official approach to sign a player who is just ……….

Leeds United almost survived their most recent match against Preston North End, requiring a last-minute penalty kick from Joel Piroe to defeat Ryan Lowe’s cunning guests 2-1.

In this close triumph, Ethan Ampadu once again distinguished himself at the center of defense. Daniel Farke had pushed Ampadu back there in recent weeks to cover for Pascal Struijk’s injury, effectively making the Whites forget about their missing Dutchman.

On January 22, the transfer news website revealed that West Ham had to sell due to Financial Fair Play requirements, and that both Championship teams had discussed a potential deal with the Hammers.

This has happened while Leeds is able to provide Johnson with a way out and West Ham is focusing on signing agreements that most likely depend on players leaving.

Johnson was recently labeled as “one to watch” in a report by The Mirror [18 January], and now that the two teams have established communication, the deal is starting to appear more plausible.

The source further stated that the defender may receive an offer for a new contract in East London if he stays in the Hammers’ lineup due to their persistent injury problems.

Leeds should be chatting to Johnson in an attempt to persuade him that moving to Elland Road would be the best option, even though it’s possible that he intends to stay at West Ham for the long run and that choice may depend on his ability to impress the elite in East London.
