Leeds targets defender Nico Elvedi for Premier League promotion

Leeds United is planning to strengthen its squad if it gains promotion to the Premier League. The club is interested in signing Nico Elvedi, a defender from Borussia Monchengladbach. Elvedi is seen as a potential leader for the team's defense. Currently, Leeds United is at the top of the Championship, just two points ahead of Burnley. However, they still need to keep performing well to secure their promotion. Journalist Ben Jacobs reports that Elvedi is open to making the move to the Premier League, which could help Leeds build a stronger team. Elvedi has played under Leeds’ manager Daniel Farke before, creating a familiar connection that could benefit the club. He can play both as a center-back and a left-back, offering versatility. Jacobs suggests this makes him an ideal candidate for Leeds. Elvedi has experience at the international level, with 56 caps for Switzerland. His leadership qualities could add much-needed depth to Leeds’ defense. However, the club must first focus on staying ahead of their rivals to secure promotion by mid-May.
