Staying up in the Premier League as a promoted side is a very difficult task these days, with the last six teams failing to do so. However, Leeds have gone about this summer transfer window in a way that suggests they may have a pretty good shot at succeeding. After already completing seven signings, Leeds United have now sent a new bid for Igor Paix\u00e3o.<\/p>\n
Fabrizio Romano has revealed<\/a> that Leeds are trying hard to complete the signing of Paix\u00e3o quickly. They have reportedly “improved their bid” to Feyenoord today (July 26) as they try to get the “deal sealed ASAP”. He describes the Whites as “pushing with intention to close the story and reach full agreement with Feyenoord”, as the first gameweek of the new season dawns (it is now under three weeks away).<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Leeds United Striker Compared to Sergio Aguero Hands in Transfer Request<\/a><\/p>\n The Brazilian winger had attracted interest from other European clubs, with French giants Olympique Marseille keen on him. Romano had reported<\/a> that they were “close” to a deal on July 19, with a fee in excess of \u20ac30 million (~\u00a326 million) demanded by the Dutch outfit. It can only be assumed that the Peacocks are bidding in a similar region.<\/p>\n Leeds’ summer business has been exciting<\/a> fans, and suggests that they may have a good chance of survival.

Sean Longstaff<\/a> brings crucial experience, whilst the incomings of Anton Stach,<\/a> Gabriel Gudmundsson, Jaka Bijol, and Sebastiaan Bornauw are all great physical presences.<\/p>\n Read More: <\/strong>Alexander Isak Rejects One Transfer Option \u2013 One Club Remains<\/a><\/p>\nSummer Business Suggests Good Chance of Survival<\/h3>\n
