Cameron Archer Transfer from Southampton to Leeds United
Team Talk reports on Cameron Archer's potential transfer to Leeds United. Cameron Archer has reportedly agreed to a move to Leeds United for the summer. Leeds had tried to sign him in the winter window but failed. They are expected to re-explore the move with Patrick Bamford likely to move on.
Leeds United are confident of signing Cameron Archer this summer. Journalist Ben Jacobs revealed there is an ‘expectation’ that the move will go through once promotion is secured. Archer has made it clear to his people that he wants the move to Elland Road this summer and would have said yes to a move in the winter window had Southampton not blocked his path. A fee of between £15m and £20m is expected to convince Championship-bound Southampton to sell.
Leeds United had Cameron Archer as a top target in January and could reignite their interest this summer. Southampton were reluctant to sell Archer at the time, but if they are relegated and Leeds are promoted, there may be an opportunity to get a deal done. Archer is keen on a move to Elland Road, and agreeing a fee with the Saints will be the only obstacle.
Leeds United pursued Cameron Archer late in the transfer window. Despite speculation, Leeds felt a move was unlikely since Southampton informed them Archer would not be allowed to leave. The transfer officially failed when Southampton allowed Adam Armstrong to exit on loan instead.
Archer was the subject of a bid from Leeds United, which Southampton swiftly turned down. Leeds have already seen a loan offer rejected for Archer due to Southampton's hopes of keeping him for at least the season and then reassessing his position in the summer. However, sources have confirmed Archer is open to the move to Elland Road and is happy to wait until the summer. Leeds are expected to return with another offer, confident they can secure the deal due to Archer's willingness to move.
Leeds United have made a firm offer for Southampton striker Cameron Archer, who has been on their wishlist for some time. However, Southampton are reluctant to sell as they are still in a position to avoid relegation. Leeds' hopes of signing Archer look grim, as Southampton are determined not to weaken their squad while still having a mathematical chance of staying in the Premier League. This appears to be another potential transfer miss for Leeds in this window.
