Third Time Lucky? Leeds United on Brink of £20m Coup for ‘Very Good’ Star After Two-Year Pursuit
Could this finally be the summer Leeds United lands Gustavo Hamer?
After a failed attempt last year, Leeds United may be poised to make their move for Sheffield United’s star midfielder, Gustavo Hamer. With a £20 million bid now more feasible thanks to their Premier League return and Hamer’s standout season, the timing could be right. The Brazilian-born playmaker, named Championship Player of the Year, has been a key figure for the Blades, and his creativity and goal-scoring ability would fill the void in Leeds’ midfield.
Former Sheffield United player Lee Hendrie believes Hamer could make the switch this summer, particularly if the Blades fall short of promotion again. After seeing a £13 million offer rejected in 2023, Leeds may finally land the midfielder if Sheffield United’s promotion hopes fail once more.
