Leeds Put Pascal Struijk at the Heart of Their Summer Plans as Premier League Suitors Line Up

Leeds’ top-flight status could decide their leverage to keep a first-choice defender tied to the club through 2027.

Overview

  • Football Insider reports Leeds have made Pascal Struijk a priority for the summer due to growing concern over his contract situation.
  • TEAMtalk, via CaughtOffside, reports Aston Villa plan a bid for the 26-year-old, with Tottenham and Newcastle also tracking him.
  • Leeds are trying to keep Struijk and believe staying in the Premier League would strengthen their hand, but relegation would leave them open to offers, according to Football Insider and Yahoo Sports.
  • His deal runs until 2027 and will enter its final year this summer, which raises pressure on Leeds to secure a new agreement or face interest turning into formal moves.
  • Struijk has started 28 league games and covers left-sided centre-back, left-back, or defensive midfield, and a Transfermarkt valuation near €20 million reflects why rivals view him as attainable.
