There’s still time left for Leeds United to tap into the transfer market and increase its squad, and it looks as though several newcomers may be about to arrive at Elland Road.
The club has already added Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani as additional strikers because of the departures of Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville, which left Leeds needing more firepower up front.
Leeds Show Interest in Mohammed Belloumi
According to reports from The Record, which is published by Sport Witness Leeds United, are considering making a late move to sign Algerian winger Mohammed El Bachir Belloumi who is currently playing for Farense in Portugal.
As of this moment Leeds scouts have concentrated their attention on the 22-year-old.
It is rumored that the club might move to bring him to Elland Road before the transfer window closes on Friday.
Belloumi, who is famed for his speed and skill, often dazzles defenders with his runs down the right wing.
He is a player with pace that Leeds still lack after selling Raphinha last summer.
Last season, Belloumi scored 7 goals and made another 5 assists in 35 appearances, and his progressive play style, averaging 2.65 carries per 90 minutes, has made him a standout in the Portuguese league.
Belloumi vs. Benson: Who’s the Better Fit?
Leeds have also been linked with Burnley winger Manuel Benson, but his stock appears to be falling.
Despite scoring 11 goals last season, Benson struggled for game time in the Premier League, managing only one start.
Comparatively, Belloumi has a higher shot accuracy (48.9% vs. Benson’s 30%) and wins more aerial duels, indicating a more well-rounded player who could fit better into Leeds’ plans.
In addition, Belloumi is versatile enough to play as a number ten, adding depth to Daniel Farke’s squad.
His skill set and potential as an attacking force make him an enticing option for Leeds, who could make good use of his flair and creativity in the right wing.
Mohammed Belloumi’s signing might represent a good move for Leeds United as the player combines attacking talent with adaptability.
Often compared to former star Raphinha, Belloumi could give new life to Elland Road and help the club rebuild itself ready to return to the Premier League.
Fans will be excited to see if he can deliver on his potential.
