Leeds United could reunite Patrick Bamford and Albert Adomah at Elland Road this summer, with the club reportedly interested in the latter.

Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa could well stumble across an interesting partnership if the club manages to sign reported target Albert Adomah from Aston Villa.

According to the Guardian on their live transfer blog (12:21pm, 7 August), the Whites are battling Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough to sign the 30-year-old attacker this summer.

It is understood the winger could be available with less than a year remaining on his Villa contact, and he would surely be an attractive option to bring to Elland Road after he scored 15 goals last season in all competitions.

Adomah is a wide man with blistering pace and he would be reunited with former Boro teammate Patrick Bamford if he jumped ship to Leeds.

There is already a strong contingent of ex-Boro players in the Whites’ squad and centre-forward Bamford made the move to Leeds in the summer.

Him and Adomah were both key players at the Riverside back in the 2014/15 season, when Boro made it all the way to the Championship play-off final before losing to Norwich City.

Bamford was in stunning form that season, netting 19 times in all competitions, while Adomah was directly involved in 11 goals.

The attacking pair could be a fierce combination if they play together at Elland Road, and having a familiar face in the side like Adomah would definitely help Bamford hit the ground running at his new club.
