Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to join Leverkusen
Poku is expected to complete a permanent transfer to Bayer Leverkusen in the coming days, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Leverkusen are expected to make a move for a winger in case Amine Adli departs the club in the summer. Poku has been a dominant attacking force in the Eredivisie, and he might be ready to make the move to a more competitive environment. He'd certainly welcome a move to Leverkusen since that'd allow him to play in the Champions League in 2025/26.
