Leeds told to complete Sammie Szmodics 'statement signing' - fans react

Leeds United fans are calling for the club to sign Blackburn Rovers forward Sammie Szmodics before the transfer window closes on 30 August.

Szmodics found the net twice in Blackburn’s 6-1 Carabao Cup first-round win against Stockport County on 13 August as he continued his excellent form from last season.

This comes after a stunning 2023-24 season which saw him finish as the Championship’s top scorer with 27 goals from 44 games.

Football Insider reported on 31 July that Leeds had expressed their interest in the forward but looked set to miss out as he closed in on a move to Ipswich Town.

However, there have since been delays to the deal as Blackburn boss John Eustace confirmed the club are still “waiting for the right offer” and fans are now demanding Leeds re-enter the race for his signature.

Leeds fans have been calling for the club to sign a clinical striker as both Patrick Bamford and Joel Piroe struggle to find consistency in front of goal.

Mateo Joseph’s strong pre-season form earned him a start in the season opener against Portsmouth, but there is a feeling more is needed at Elland Road.

After Szmodics’ continued goalscoring heroics for a Blackburn side which struggled last season, fans are imagining what he could do in a side that creates as many chances as Leeds.

Supporters flocked to social media after the game to demand action from the club, as they called for the 28-year-old to be their next summer addition.

In other news, Leeds fans tear into hero – they are seriously unimpressed.
