Premier League newcomers Leeds United are reportedly aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the upcoming season and have identified Algerian international midfielder Himad Abdelli as a primary target.
Abdelli is understood to be a top priority for Leeds. The English club is reportedly readying a bid of £12 million (approximately €14.5 million) in an effort to convince Angers to release their key midfielder. This potential move follows Abdelli`s standout performance last season for SCO, where he contributed 6 goals and provided 1 assist across 36 appearances in all competitions.
His consistent form and abilities have particularly impressed German coach Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds. Farke is reportedly a keen admirer of the Algerian`s playing profile, specifically highlighting his effectiveness in making line-breaking runs and his strong vision on the pitch.
Recent data from the British press indicates that Abdelli ranks among Europe`s leading attacking midfielders for progressive runs, placing him alongside established talents like Liverpool`s recent acquisition, Florian Wirtz, and notably ahead of promising players such as Aston Villa`s Morgan Rogers. However, with Abdelli`s contract at Angers running until June 2026, securing his signature is expected to involve a significant transfer fee.
