Gudmundsson netted two league goals in 2024-25. He had an 82.1% pass-completion rate and won the third-most tackles for Lille at a 69% success rate. The Sweden international lost eight of his 20 contested aerial duels and made three errors leading to shots across his 30 appearances.

The Sweden international will be the club’s fourth acquisition of the summer, following Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol and Sebastiaan Bornauw.

With Junior Firpo exiting Elland Road, Leeds will need to bring in a new left-back, and they have wasted no time in their pursuit of Lille's Gabriel Gudmundsson, with reports revealing the deal is now edging closer to completion.
