Leeds United players are busy on international duty but right after their return, they face a difficult test against Burnley in the Championship.
Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Charlie Crew, Wilfried Gnonto, Ilia Gruev, Junior Firpo, Mateo Joseph, Manor Solomon and Ao Tanaka were all busy during the international break representing their country.
One of the players who Leeds United targeted in the January transfer window this year scored a hat-trick for his country in the Nations League.
Turkish attacker Kerem Akturkoglu was being linked with a move to Leeds United constantly in January but nothing materialised on that front.
The striker scored a hat-trick against Iceland in his country’s 3-1 win in the Nations League.
According to Fanatik, the Whites were involved in talks to sign the player but the move did not happen and they might live to regret it.
The player joined Benfica this summer for £10m, a bargain deal that could have worked wonders for Leeds.
Akturkoglu was involved in 24 goals and assists in 54 games last season.
Considering the loss of attacking players from the club this summer, he would have been ideal for the Whites.
The likes of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter left Elland Road this summer and even though Solomon has arrived from Spurs along with Largie Ramazani from Almeria, someone like Akturkoglu would have offered a lethal presence upfront.
