Leeds United linked with move for 28-year-old Premier League midfielder

Leeds United are reportedly keen to sign Bournemouth midfielder Philip Billing during the January transfer window.

According to Gune Bakis, the 28-year-old Danish midfielder is on the radar and it remains to be seen whether the Championship club will want to sign him in the coming months.

Billing has been a key player for the Cherries since joining them in 2019 for a fee believed to be in the region of £15million. The midfielder has amassed 31 goals and 20 assists since moving to Bournemouth and could also be a key player for Leeds United.

Clubs in Turkey are also keen to sign the 28-year-old midfielder and it will be interesting to see if they can close a deal for the midfielder before the summer transfer window closes. The summer transfer window in Turkey closes on September 13th and they have a few days to complete the transfer.

Philip Billing would be a great addition

The 28-year-old midfielder will add creativity, goals, drive and physicality to their midfield. He could be a great addition to Leeds in the second half of the season and could galvanise the team.

Billing has shown his qualities in the Premier League with the Cherries and there is no doubt that he is good enough for the Championship. Leeds need more quality and depth to return to the English top flight and the Bournemouth star could be a transformative addition for them.
