As the Easter weekend draws closer, Daniel Farke gears up for a crucial double header that could shape Leeds United’s destiny in the Championship. Leading the table, the team faces Watford away on Friday before welcoming Hull City at Elland Road on Easter Monday.

With just eight games left in the season, every point is vital for Leeds’ bid for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Keeping this in mind, Farke pushes his squad to deliver exceptional performances in these upcoming matches.

One of the hot topics surrounding Leeds is the potential permanent signings of Joe Rodon and his international teammate, Connor Roberts. While Rodon has been a target for a while, reports suggest that the club is also interested in securing Roberts on a long-term basis following his loan spell. Despite limited league starts, Roberts has impressed during his time at the club, making him a valuable asset in the run-in towards promotion.

In a competitive transfer market, Leeds had to fend off interest from various teams across Europe to secure Ethan Ampadu’s services last summer. The Welsh international has been a standout player for Leeds this season, showcasing his talent under Farke’s guidance. Leeds’ swift action in signing Ampadu was pivotal, with continental and Premier League clubs vying for his signature. The new ownership at Elland Road also played a crucial role in attracting Ampadu with the promise of stability, which has seen him become a key figure in the team, even wearing the captain’s armband in recent games.
