Leeds United could benefit from a crucial factor in their transfer interest of Coventry City midfielder Gustavo Hamer. The Whites have been linked with a move for the Brazilian all summer, with the 26-year-old's future the subject of much speculation.
New manager Daniel Farke is believed to be keen on Hamer, who was a key part of the Sky Blues side which reached the Championship play-off final in May, only to lose to Luton Town on penalties. Coventry already look likely to lose key striker Viktor Gjorkeres to Sporting Lisbon in a £20m deal, and Hamer could well follow him out of the exit door at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
However, Leeds United will have plenty of competition for his signature, with Premier League sides Fulham, Brentford and Brighton all rumoured to be interested. Reports over the weekend suggested Fulham were ready to make a move for the £10m-rated midfielder.
