Daniel Farke and Leeds United will be hoping for a smooth transfer window after promotion, but accept many spanners in the works.

The 49ers will have a plan in place to ensure Leeds remain a Premier League side consistently.

Paraag Marathe intends to spend £100m on transfers, and although this is aggressive, the owners will have to be cautious with their approach.

It’s unknown who is looking like a major transfer target for the Whites, but all will be revealed in the coming weeks.

One name that has emerged as one of these major targets now could be in doubt as Everton make their feelings clear.

Everton add Leeds United target Gustavo Hamer to shortlist

If Sheffield United don’t follow Leeds and Burnley to the golden gates of the Premier League, questions might be asked of Chris Wilder.

Position	Team	Played MP	Won W	Drawn D	Lost L	For GF	Against GA	Diff GD	Points Pts
1	LeedsLeeds	45	28	13	4	93	29	64	97
2	BurnleyBurnley	45	27	16	2	66	15	51	97
3	Sheff UtdSheffield Utd	45	28	7	10	62	35	27	89

The Blades fell short meaning they’ve got to fight the battle no one wants. The playoffs.

But to add insult to injury, if promotion isn’t secured, Wilder could lose his key asset in Gustavo Hamer.

Hamer is one of the Championship’s best, as Hamer is a Leeds target to Wilder’s dismay.

Of course, being one of the best in the second tier, the midfielder will be seeking a Premier League move with Sheffield or not.

This is where Leeds come into the frame after their recent glory, but now according to TEAMTALK, Everton are now after the Dutchman.

It’s said that Everton’s shortlist includes Hamer after he has been highly impressive for the Blades after amassing 16 goal contributions this season, which now provides a threat to Leeds completing the signing.

Angus Kinnear is being ruthless to Leeds this summer

The plan from Daniel Farke is clear as Leeds want to recreate Jayden Bogle’s signing with Hamer.

But one of their own, for the time-being, in Angus Kinnear isn’t helping matters with Everton also seeking the deal.

Of course, Kinnear will be joining Everton, and who’s not to say he’s planning on making this a theme of going after the Whites’ targets this window.

Everton want Leeds target Tomas Soucek as well, in what could be a series of fights between his former club.

Farke will want Hamer no doubt, but the midfielder will have a big decision to make should Sheffield not make the step-up.
