Wrexham’s search for a new central defender has hit a setback, with Maksym Talovierov now seemingly edging closer to a move to Stoke City. The Ukrainian centre-back, who impressed during a short stint at Plymouth Argyle, had been on Wrexham’s radar following Argyle’s relegation. However, despite the Red Dragons’ interest, Talovierov has confirmed he is considering an offer from Stoke, leaving Phil Parkinson’s side at risk of missing out on another key target this summer.

Relegation Raid: 5 Hidden Gems Leeds United Could Snatch from Championship’s Fallen Giants

May 13, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United is gearing up for a major squad overhaul ahead of their Premier League return. With the summer transfer window opening next month, manager Daniel Farke is set to receive significant financial backing to strengthen the team. Given the growing gap in quality between the Premier League and the Championship, Leeds will need to make strategic signings. One area that requires attention is goalkeeping, with Thomas Kaminski from Luton Town emerging as a potential target. The 32-year-old Belgian, who was named Luton’s Player of the Season, could provide much-needed depth and competition, especially with Illan Meslier’s future uncertain.

In defence, Leeds may target Maksym Talovierov from Plymouth Argyle. The 25-year-old Ukrainian has shown strong potential since joining Plymouth in January, and his physicality and technical ability could be valuable assets to the Leeds backline. Additionally, in midfield, Thelo Aasgaard from Luton Town could add creativity and intelligence to the squad, with his impressive performances helping Luton stay afloat in the Championship. Finally, Mustapha Bundu of Plymouth and Yousef Salech from Cardiff City could offer attacking options, with both players showcasing their goal-scoring abilities and potential for further development. These targets could provide the depth and quality Leeds need to make their Premier League return a success.
