Leeds United are reportedly keen on signing Stuttgart forward Ermedin Demirovic as Daniel Farke looks to bolster his squad ahead of the new Premier League season. The Yorkshire club finished 14th in the final 2025 table with 47 points, scoring 49 goals and conceding 56 for a -7 goal difference.
Who is Ermedin Demirovic?
The 28-year-old Bosnia-Herzegovina international has impressed in Germany, scoring 32 goals and providing 11 assists in 87 appearances for Stuttgart. With 57 goals and 35 assists from 183 Bundesliga outings, Demirovic is a proven goalscorer. Leeds face competition from Juventus and Fenerbahce, but Demirovic's desire to play Champions League football with Stuttgart could be a hurdle.
Why is Leeds United interested?
After spending £34m on Tarik Muharemovic, Leeds are looking to add another Bosnia-Herzegovina star to their squad. With Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin as options, Farke is still keen to replace Joel Piroe. The arrival of a new forward could change Piroe's mind about proving himself in the Premier League.
What comes next for Leeds United?
If Leeds determine that they are unable to tempt Demirovic into a transfer, they will quickly move on. Farke is keen to make major additions to his squad before the new season begins. The Yorkshire giants are also reportedly looking to secure a deal for Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford.
