Charlie Cresswell

Leeds United and Southampton are set to explore different avenues in the transfer market this summer. Following their victory over Leeds in the Championship play-off final last month, Southampton now enjoys greater financial flexibility to bolster their squad for the Premier League. Leeds, conversely, must adopt a more strategic approach in their player acquisitions to adhere to financial regulations, though Paraag Marathe has assured that there will be funds available for new signings.

Last season, Wood made 26 appearances for Swansea and, at just 22 years old, has significant potential for growth. According to FBRef, Wood’s playing style is similar to that of Pascal Struijk. Fielding both defenders together next season could provide a solid foundation for Leeds to mount another promotion challenge.
