Leeds United could be set to bolster their team above Daniel Farke with the arrival of sporting director Samir Arabi.
That’s according to Sky Germany, who report that Arabi could be set to move to Leeds to work alongside Daniel Farke.
They explain that Arabi, who is currently a free agent after leaving Arminia Bielefeld in 2023 after seven years with the club as managing director of sport. He was previously the director of football at the club for five years between 2011 and 2016.
He’s on Leeds’ list and the idea is that he could support Farke with transfers and help them to exploit the German market further.
They’ve had success there before with signings such as Ilia Gruev, Maximilian Wöber, Joshua Guilavogui and Ao Tanaka.
Arabi has detailed knowledge of the market and Leeds could use that to their advantage, particularly if they make it back to the Premier League this season.
His arrival would be part of a complete management restructuring at Elland Road, with current CEO Angus Kinnear reportedly moving to Everton.
That will lead to a shake-up and Farke being given more support and influence in transfer matters, perhaps alongside Arabi.
