Exclusive: Leeds United Plot £12m Move for Angers Star Himad Abdelli
Leeds United are preparing a bid in the region of £12 million for Angers captain Himad Abdelli, sources have revealed to Football Insider.
Fresh off their promotion to the Premier League, Leeds have identified the Algerian international as a prime target to strengthen their attacking midfield.
The 25-year-old contributed six goals and one assist across 32 Ligue 1 matches last season, playing a key role in helping Angers secure a 14th-place finish in the French top flight.
Abdelli stands out among Europe’s top playmakers, having recorded 112 progressive carries — matching Liverpool’s high-profile new arrival Florian Wirtz and outperforming Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers in this metric.

Manager Daniel Farke is focused on boosting his side’s creativity and attacking threat ahead of their return to the Premier League. He views Abdelli as a crucial part of that plan.
Leeds scouts have been monitoring the midfielder closely, and the club is now ready to turn their interest into a formal offer.
