Leeds United have been given a massive boost as they look to sign Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra this transfer window.<\/p>\n

The 21-year-old has enjoyed some impressive years at the Ligue 1 outfit and captained them to a seventh-place finish in the league last season.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke seems to have taken notice of Diarra<\/a> and wants to sign the Senegal international at the Whites in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Udinese centre-back Jaka Bijol is close<\/a> to arriving at Elland Road, and the midfielder\u2019s addition may follow after, with an exit almost guaranteed.<\/p>\n

\"Leeds Diarra has transfer agreement with Strasbourg amid Leeds United interest<\/p>\n

Strasbourg president Marc Keller has promised Diarra<\/a> he can depart this summer.<\/p>\n

The Ligue 1 outfit\u2019s chief revealed that the Senegalese midfielder is due to leave soon, having agreed to do so during his previous contract negotiations, giving 49ers Enterprises the green light to pursue his transfer at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Keller admits that if an enticing offer is made for the 21-year-old soon, he could be on his way out of La Meinau.<\/p>\n

Speaking to RMC<\/a> (16 June), he said: \u201cThere\u2019s one player who\u2019s due to leave based on a promise I made to him two years ago: our captain, Diarra. When he extended his contract, we told him he was extending it, but that he wouldn\u2019t leave until June 2025.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo if we get an interesting offer for him and for us, he could leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Paraag Marathe should back Farke at Leeds<\/a> this summer, and initial indications have been positive.<\/p>\n

Lukas Nmecha\u2019s transfer to Elland Road<\/a> has been confirmed, and Bijol could potentially be the Whites\u2019 second signing of the current window.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s encouraging to see the 49ers act swiftly, but more additions are evidently needed at the West Yorkshire outfit after Premier League promotion.<\/p>\n

Diarra\u2019s potential move to Leeds will help add more depth in the midfield, with Joe Rothwell and Josuha Guilavogui<\/a> leaving.<\/p>\n

Farke should demand more additions in the engine room, as well as other positions, with new defenders and attackers arguably also needed.<\/p>\n

The West Yorkshire outfit must build a competitive squad to avoid immediate relegation from the Premier League, and the Senegal international\u2019s addition will be exciting.<\/p>\n

Diarra has shown a lot of potential at Strasbourg, and the Elland Road faithful will hope he can further develop in LS11 once the 21-year-old signed.<\/p>\n
