"Leeds made 10 signings during the summer transfer window, as efforts were made to ensure that Daniel Farke's squad can survive the Premier League. But one player that did not end up at Elland Road is Josh Brownhill. Brownhill, who left Burnley in July when his contract expired, was a standout performer in the Championship last season, and that led to many clubs being linked with signing him. Leeds were one of them, although a deal failed to come to fruition."
"As per Leeds All Over, Brownhill was also interested in the move, but he is now set to join Al-Shabab, according to Arriyadiyah. The Saudi Pro League side have agreed terms with the midfielder, with the deal now needing approval from the Financial Sustainability Committee affiliated with the Saudi Professional League before it is finalised. Brownhill, 29, is at an age where he would be set for his final big payday, and that is what he would get if the move to Al-Shabab goes through."
"It is perhaps a shame for Leeds that Brownhill was not added to Farke's squad during the summer, although there is already quality in midfield especially with the arrivals of Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff from TSG Hoffenheim and Newcastle respectively. Time will tell whether Leeds should have made a more concrete effort to sign Brownhill, given that he was also interested in the move to Elland Road."
Leeds made ten signings during the summer transfer window to strengthen Daniel Farke's squad for Premier League survival. Josh Brownhill left Burnley in July after his contract expired and was a standout performer in the Championship, attracting links from multiple clubs including Leeds. Brownhill expressed interest in joining Leeds but is now set to sign for Al-Shabab, with a two-year deal awaiting approval from the Saudi Pro League Financial Sustainability Committee. The move is expected to offer Brownhill a significantly higher salary at age 29. Leeds have also added midfield options such as Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, and club officials remain content with the summer business.
