Tottenham are at the head of the queue for the services of Leeds centre-back, Pascal Struijk, with the all whites hoping to make a huge profit on the player.
Leeds are on course for at least another Championship play-off berth this season as they attempt to get promoted to the Premier League at the second time of asking.
Daniel Farke has worked wonders with the Elland Road outfit despite losing some of his biggest names.
Another Leeds ace is set to move on, but Aston Villa’s Louie Barry could be signed in the January transfer window as Farke pushes for a strong finish in the second half of the season
Tottenham favourites to sign Leeds centre-back Pascal Struijk
Pascal Struijk plays an important role at Leeds United and is noted for his solid defensive skills, however, he has become a player of interest to a number of Premier League clubs according to CaughtOffside sources.
Struijk is attracting attention thanks to the standard of his performances in the Championship, with Tottenham Hotspur leading Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton & Hove Albion in the race for his signature.

Though the all whites are not necessarily putting him up for sale, it’s understood that would accede to it if they can make a big profit on Struijk.
Still very much in the fight for promotion, Leeds would need to recoup a decent fee in order to land a like-for-like replacement, and to that end a fee of £25m is being seen as a figure that will get Leeds to do business.
With the January transfer window opening in less than a fortnight, the quicker that any deal can be rubber stamped, the better for all concerned.
Whether Struijk’s sale contributes to the derailing of Leeds’ promotion ambitions would only be seen in due course.
For me, selling Struijk in the Jan’ window would be tantermount to suicidal to our promotion hopes this season, no matter how much he’s worth.Unless that is, the powers that be have their eye’s set on a like-for- like player that’l take his place hitting the ground running. To date, Iv’e not heard anyones name mentioned as even a ‘possible’ replacement ? I think we need to keep our best and most influential players if were going to get promoted this season. Get promoted first, and then maybe consider selling if we have to ? We need a replacement keeper instead of Melier, cos if one person is going to cost us promotion due errors, it’s him ! We need an out and out, proven goal scorer for certain, as Piroe and Joseph arent cutting it. By the way, I never write post’s !!!! MOT
When I look at the saves Meslier has made at crucial times this season I have realised that without him we would not be in the position we are in now. Yes the Sunderland gaffe cost us 2 points but how many points has he gained us?….We would have been relegated from the Premiership much earlier had it not been for him………..
The 49ers will not be selling anybody and these unfounded rumours just show how little site like this know
Absolutely no way Farke will sanction a transfer of Striujk. The club are going for promotion and selling Striujk is risking losing our CH pairing with Rodon who are the best defensive unit in the league. It would be madness to break up the best defense in the league for money the club are in a very positive position following the sales in the summer. Any transfers in January will be to strengthen the squad and possibly a few loans for players like Gelhart. Players on the fringes only no chance of our best players been sold at this time of season with so much to play for.
