Leeds United are eyeing attacking reinforcements this summer on top of Lukas Nmecha, with Manor Solomon not likely to re-join.

Manor Solomon helped Leeds United to win the title and return to the Premier League, with Daniel Farke’s side benefitting from the Spurs winger’s loan spell.

This time around, this current iteration of Leeds will be even more desperate to retain their top flight status at the first attempt.

The 49ers have the resources and infrastructure to ensure that is the reality, having seen previous regimes fail to maintain Premier League football at Elland Road before. However, strength in both boxes is paramount.

Evann Guessand could replace Manor Solomon at Leeds but Wolves lead the race for the forward

Recently, it was revealed Spurs made a final decision on Solomon and that he is set to remain with the club during pre-season at least — and possibly beyond.

A number of players have been linked to Leeds already, but not enough can help Leeds get up the pitch and out of trouble as attacking outlets in the way Solomon’s close control could.

A winger with serious height and physicality could offer an alternative solution. A player who can also be versatile to operate in a number of forward roles is absolutely essential this summer. One such option is OGC Nice striker Evann Guessand.

Guessand was linked with a move to Leeds back in February after the transfer window had shut; and now that Leeds are promoted, it’s a link that makes a lot of sense.
