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.
