Gustavo Hamer remains a top transfer target for Leeds United this summer as a new update has emerged.

Daniel Farke will know that signing a player of the Dutchman’s calibre will go a long way in the Premier League.

With a plethora of targets available to Leeds, Hamer stands out to Leeds fans as a ‘must’ in terms of securing his services.

Chris Wilder will have to sell after his Sheffield United side missed out on their chance of top-flight football next season, and Hamer could well fall into that category.

Well, now a new report has given the latest on Leeds’ interest in the Championship Player of the season.

What Sheffield United are now saying about Gustavo Hamer to Leeds United

Being the Championship Player of the Year, the 27-year-old will obviously be a point of interest in many clubs’ transfer plans.

Wilder was clearly hoping he would remain at Bramall Lane after the season had ended, but it’s unlikely he’ll stick around for Championship football.

The Blades boss will certainly not want to strengthen the Whites after Wilder called Leeds’ interest in Hamer ‘nonsense’, but a fresh update suggests he might have no choice.

talkSPORT are suggesting that Hamer is ‘expected to leave’ Sheffield United after their play-off final defeat to Sunderland.

Leeds remain an ever-glowing presence in their pursuit of Hamer, but Everton are challenging the Whites for the midfielder’s signature.

The sources explain that Hamer is one of the players Blades chiefs are resigned to losing after their absence from the top flight next season.

Hamer can be the difference in Leeds staying up next season

Even when Sheffield struggled during the 2023/24 season, Hamer showed his brilliance in the top flight, proving he’s not just a one-trick pony in the second tier.

Everton will challenge Leeds for Hamer, but the 49ers will be hoping to have the edge in this new look project, with Paraag Marathe aiming for Europe.

Hamer could be the start of this process, and after his brilliant assist for Tyrese Campbell in the play-off final, fans will be eager to get this deal sorted.

Blades fans won’t be happy, but Hamer, making the move to Elland Road this summer, has just received a huge boost, and it could be a difference maker in their chances of survival.
