Leeds United’s young midfielder Darko Gyabi has emerged as a sought-after talent in the transfer window, with several Championship clubs and teams from France closely monitoring his situation at Elland Road. According to sources from Football Insider, the 21-year-old is attracting interest from multiple sides, with potential loan moves that include an option to buy being considered.

Limited Opportunities at Leeds
Gyabi, who joined Leeds from Manchester City in 2022 for a reported fee of around £5 million, has struggled to secure a regular place in Daniel Farke’s squad. Despite high expectations upon his arrival, the central midfielder has made just five senior appearances for the Whites, with his development hampered by limited first-team opportunities.
His most recent stint was a loan spell at Plymouth Argyle during the 2024/25 season, where he gained valuable experience, featuring in 48 first-team matches. However, Plymouth’s relegation to League One has done little to boost his immediate prospects at Leeds, who are now preparing for their return to the Premier League in the 2025/26 campaign.
Competition in the Midfield
With Leeds aiming to bolster their midfield through new signings, including reported interest in Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff and the arrivals of players like Ao Tanaka, Ilia Gruev, and Joe Rothwell, Gyabi faces stiff competition for a spot in Farke’s plans. Football Insider reports suggest that the young midfielder is unlikely to feature prominently in the Premier League, prompting the club to consider loan options to further his development.
