MusaLeeds United are making strong moves in the transfer window, securing three signings ready to compete in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke and the 49ers appear determined to outpace their rivals, acting swiftly to strengthen the squad. With a clear budget in place and deals already progressing, Paraag Marathe is finally delivering after several quiet transfer windows.
The step up to the Premier League demands physicality, and Leeds’ early signings have addressed this perfectly. Leadership is also a priority, with Jaka Bijol set to play a key role in Farke’s squad. However, reinforcements are still needed—and one potential target has even earned Pele’s endorsement.
Pele’s Seal of Approval for Leeds Target Timothy Weah
One area where Leeds must improve is out wide. While Farke may still hope for Manor Solomon’s return, the Israeli winger looks likely to stay at Tottenham—though his situation remains one to monitor.
Another option is Timothy Weah, who is attracting interest from multiple clubs, including Leeds. The American international could be available this summer for around £13m—a bargain for a player once praised by Pele himself.
After Weah combined with Christian Pulisic to score against Wales in the 2022 World Cup (in a team featuring Brenden Aaronson), the Brazilian legend commented on his Instagram:
“Congratulations. It was a beautiful goal. Keep dreaming, dreams come true.”
Why Weah Would Be a Perfect Fit for Farke’s System
While Farke has prioritized physicality in his signings, Weah offers something different: versatility and attacking flair.
Leeds lack a natural right-winger, but Weah could fill that void—and more. Not only can he play as a traditional wide attacker, but he also has the ability to operate as an attacking right-back, a role that has previously been a key source of goals for Leeds.
For just £13m, the Whites wouldn’t just be signing a dynamic and adaptable player—they’d be landing a talent endorsed by one of football’s greatest ever icons.
