As just a few days remain in the summer transfer market, Leeds United are looking to strengthen their ranks by adding Gustavo Hamer to their side.
The Whites have already sealed the signings of Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell, Jayden Bogle and Largie Ramazani so far.
Daniel Farke is still on the hunt for much more though, should Leeds manage to make a push for promotion from the Championship back to the Premier League.
The task is a big one, given the losses of Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter over the past few months.
With the attacking talent leaving Elland Road, there is a need to replace it and Gustavo Hamer could be the fix.

Gustavo Hamer to Leeds United transfer saga
Late in the transfer window, it was revealed that Leeds had made a late offer for Gustavo Hamer, in the hopes of landing a blockbuster transfer.
The bid was claimed to be in the region of £13million, though Sheffield United had rejected that offer rather quickly.
Reports had claimed that Leeds already agreed personal terms with Hamer, which could help speed up the process.
While the initial offer was rejected, it was later revealed that Sheffield United would be willing to let Hamer leave for £20million.
It remains to be seen if The Whites will make a late charge for the midfielder before the transfer window closes.
