Leeds United are thought to be competing with Championship rivals as well as Celtic and Rangers for Hammarby’s 21-year-old center-back Nathaniel Adjei’s signing.
The Whites are hoping for promotion this season, and they may already be looking ahead to the January transfer market to enhance their prospects by adding key reinforcements.
Daniel Farke’s defense has been solid so far, but Pascal Struijk’s surgery this month may have him wondering if he needs extra help.

Nathaniel Adjei to Leeds?
Voebtal Krant is reporting that Leeds are one of a number of clubs that are looking to sign Hammarby’s Ghanaian center-back Nathaniel Adjei in the January window.
The 21-year-old has impressed for the Swedish top-flight side, making 26 appearances in 2023 for his side, scoring once in the process, and keeping four clean sheets in the last 10 league games.
It is claimed that a deal to sign the 21-year-old would come in at around €3–4 million, which equates to around £2.6–3.5 million.
