Leeds United has finally signing young talented player worth £89Million from…
Despite having been named as an unused substitute against Birmingham City on Monday, Spence had just started to find his groove at Elland Road with five consecutive starts.
Some of those had even come out of position at left-back, where he did a solid job at times, but it was actually Leeds’ decision to end his time at the club early.
Daniel Farke has already confirmed that left-back is an area which needs addressing this month, but it is now perhaps equally as important the other flank is also strengthened.
Fenerbahce right-back Bright Osayi-Samuel was a surprise link with Leeds yesterday, but a move for him could now make more sense with Spence no longer at the club.
Leeds could now target Osayi-Samuel
Leeds are still fairly well stocked at right-back in terms of players who can play there, but at the same time, there is no doubt their set of options now look a whole lot weaker.
Archie Gray has been first choice since October but is still primarily a central midfielder, while Jamie Shackleton has struggled with injuries. Luke Ayling is another, but is also out injured, has been linked with Middlesbrough and Farke does not seem too keen to play him.
With that in mind, it is paramount that Leeds do not leave themselves short this month and so it could now make sense if they firm up their initial reported interest in Osayi-Samuel.
Osayi-Samuel was more of a winger during his previous time in England but is now very much a right-back at Fenerbahce, starting regularly and performing well so far this season.
Loans were expected to make up the bulk of Leeds’ transfer strategy and they do now have three slots open after Spence’s exit, however, an £8.6 million deal may just be there for them to do.
