Koni De Winter has caught the attention of Leeds United's manager, Daniel Farke, as a potential summer acquisition, contingent on Leeds' promotion to the Premier League for the 2025/26 season. The club aims to reinforce its squad with premier players for the Premier League, or alternatively, suitable candidates should they stay in the Championship. Currently, Leeds leads the Championship table, maintaining a seven-point advantage over Sunderland, who are in fourth place, thus making their promotion prospects promising. Nonetheless, they are facing competition from Premier League clubs West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the pursuit of De Winter. The player, who draws inspiration from Vincent Kompany in his playing style, is regarded as a crucial target to enhance Leeds' defense in the event of their promotion.
