Oxford United are reportedly in advanced transfer negotiations with Leeds United for striker Patrick Bamford, as confirmed by Sky Sports.
The 31-year-old forward has been linked with a move away from Elland Road following Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League. Oxford, a club pushing for promotion from League One, sees Bamford as an ideal candidate to bolster their attacking options.
Bamford has been a pivotal player for Leeds in recent seasons, contributing to their promotion to the Premier League in 2020 and playing a key role in their subsequent campaigns. However, a combination of injuries and Leeds’ struggles in the top tier has prompted the club to consider offloading their experienced forward. With Oxford United looking to add firepower to their squad, Bamford’s potential signing would be a statement of intent as they aim for a strong promotion push.
Negotiations between the two clubs are ongoing, with both sides working to finalize terms. While no agreement has been officially announced, the deal could represent a significant coup for Oxford, who are looking to strengthen their squad and make a serious challenge for promotion to the Championship.
