Done Deal: Fode Ballo-Toure Has Signed Three Year Contract With………read more.
AC Milan defender Fode Ballo-Toure is currently training alone while Leeds United expresses interest in signing him, as reported by Calcio Mercato on July 29. The Senegalese left-back has reached an agreement with AC Milan to train separately until a transfer is finalized.
Leeds United is not the only club interested in the 27-year-old; Besiktas and Watford are also seeking defensive reinforcements before the transfer window closes.
Ballo-Toure training alone before a potential move to Leeds highlights the club’s need to bolster their defensive line this summer. Although Joe Rodon has been added to the squad, his presence alone is insufficient.
Max Wober appears set to stay with the club next season, but with only Jayden Bogle added in the full-back positions, additional signings are necessary.
Strengthening their defense, one of Leeds’ strongest areas last season, would nearly complete the team’s lineup. Ballo-Toure would bring experience to the defense and could even challenge Junior Firpo for the starting role.
Moreover, the AC Milan player can also play centrally, providing cover in case of injuries to Leeds’ central defenders.
Overall, acquiring Ballo-Toure would be a significant addition to the squad. In other Leeds news, Daniel Farke is looking for two more signings following the arrival of Jayden Bogle.
