Breaking news: Leeds United in advance to sign the great finisher in January transfer

After breaking into the senior squad of Cape Town Spurs, Leeds United is in competition with Scottish champions Celtic as well as other Premier League teams for the services of 17-year-old South African talent Luke Baartman.

Despite adding a lot of players in January, Leeds is anticipated to be busy. In the winter window, using the loan market is more likely, and Daniel Farke is still probably going to prioritize a no. 10.

It’s crucial to keep adding to the U21 side, though. Players like Cree Summerville and Pascal Struijk, who were acquired from overseas as adolescents for extremely low prices, are now important members of this Leeds team.

Leeds has found success with that technique. The Wonderkid of Cape Town Spurs, Baartman, is reportedly the next target, according to The Sun, but Celtic and several other Premier League teams are also interested.

He made four appearances for the Cape Town Spurs, who are currently at the bottom of South Africa’s premier league and were owned by Ajax until 2020. On November 8, he scored against Kaizer Chiefs. He hasn’t yet begun a senior game.

The South Africa U17 star has undoubtedly drawn attention, and as Cape Town Spurs are unlikely to be able to stop him from moving on, they will have to accept a transfer. How long he has remaining on his contract is unknown.

Goal recently cited the club’s technical director, Sean Connor, as saying that while Baartman has a lot of talent and promise, he should not get ahead of himself.
