Leeds United are set to have a major overhaul this summer with the ownership’s promises in place.

The 49ers are set to award Daniel Farke with a £100m transfer budget, as Leeds look to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

There are set to be incredible developments of the coming months as Farke looks to play a major role in Leeds’ transfers.

Whether this will be the right decision by the hierarchy will only become apparent in August when the Premier League returns.

Judging by the signings of Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev from Farke, this next signing might start an ongoing trend this window.

Daniel Farke set to raid former club Borussia Mönchengladbach for Leeds United

With the strategy clear and Farke having a big say, it comes as no surprise that he would look at his former employers, Borussia Mönchengladbach.

One name associated with the team that has looked likely to join the Whites is Nico Elvedi who could sign for £8.2m.

But this isn’t the deal in mind this time around, proving that Farke could raid the club this season through the names being linked.

This time, Foot Mercato are reporting that Leeds are keen on Mönchengladbach right winger Franck Honorat.

Honorat has ‘aroused covetousness’ despite a contract running until 2028, as Farke has a close eye on the Frenchman.

Leeds are interested in the player despite an injury-hit season limiting his time on the pitch, but despite this, Honorat has managed to be one of, if not the ‘best player’ at Gladbach.

Leeds preparing for Manor Solomon rejection with Honorat

With the 28-year-old considered, there could be a suggestion that Leeds won’t sign Manor Solomon.

This is of course, a stab in the dark, with Solomon wanting a Leeds return, but the 49ers are seemingly preparing for all eventualities.

The transfer window throws up twists and turns, so Solomon staying at Tottenham isn’t out of the picture, but Honorat isn’t exactly a bad back-up option.

To be regarded as one of the best players in the squad will intrigue Farke, as surely it’s an upgrade on other targets away from Solomon.

He seems to be a tricky winger and possesses creativity that could become useful in the Premier League.

But Solomon will no doubt remain the top target, and there is a world in which Farke chooses to sign both.
