breaking news: Leeds United urged to sign ‘perfect fit’ midfielder who was just released by last season’s Championship rivals
Former Leeds United midfielder Carlton Palmer believes Brahima Diarra would be an excellent addition at Elland Road for next to nothing, with the midfielder a free agent after leaving Huddersfield Town earlier this summer.
Diarra is currently without a club after running down his contract at Huddersfield in the hope of a move away, with the Terriers recently suffering relegation to League One. The 21-year-old was thought to have been offered fresh terms at the John Smith’s Stadium but after making clear his desire to move on, he was frozen out of the team’s eventually unsuccessful fight for survival.
Reports have named Leeds as one of several suitors, but there is stiff competition with Leicester City, Burnley and Hull City also interested in the dynamic midfielder. Whoever wins the race for Diarra will have to pay training compensation to Huddersfield but Palmer believes it would be worth the fee for Farke’s side to land the ‘exciting’ young talent.
