Leeds United are being linked with a move for Sheffield United star Gustavo Hamer in the summer transfer window.

The summer transfer window is nearly open and it’s going to be an exciting one for Leeds United.

Several positions need strengthening and attacking midfield is one of them after Brenden Aaronson’s underwhelming season.

Gustavo Hamer fits the bill and he is once again being linked with a move to Elland Road. Here is everything you need to know about him.

Gustavo Hamer transfer news to Leeds United

Though Aaronson’s nine goals and the fact he was available for every game do make him a useful squad player, he isn’t creative enough to be relied upon in the Premier League.

A new playmaker is needed and Hamer is once again being linked for the third summer in a row.

Leeds were credited with a heavy interest in Hamer last summer and the previous year before he joined Sheffield United.

Hamer picked up a lovely assist at Wembley but the Blades lost the Play-off final to Sunderland and Chris Wilder has already warned a difficult summer is in store for them.

Hamer is expected to leave Sheffield, while the likes of Michael Cooper and Harrison Burrows should be considered by Leeds, too.

Leeds fans want Hamer signed but they do face competition from Angus Kinnear’s Everton.
