Leeds reportedly now have great chance to secure bargain £5.2m deal for 27-year-old
Leeds can sign Okay Yokuslu from Celta Vigo this summer with the La Liga side now desperate to move him on according to a report from Marca. And according to El Desmarque, the former West Brom loanee is up for grabs for just €6 million (£5.2 million). Central midfield is clearly an area where Whites Marcelo Bielsa wants to bolster. The Argentine is seemingly keen to add more tenacity to his engine room at Elland Road. Leeds have been chasing Cagliari ace Nahitan Nandez for quite some time (Leeds Live). As things stand, however, the Uruguayan is just a bit too expensive for the West Yorkshire outfit.

Report suggests Leeds have made an approach to sign 26-yr-old defender
Leeds United remain keen on signing Huesca defender Javi Galan this summer. According to Spanish publication AS, the Whites were tracking the player before they splashed out on Junior Firpo. However, the signing of the former Barcelona player has not impacted their interest in the left-back, and they have apparently made an approach to sign him. Huesca have been relegated from La Liga, and Galan will be allowed to leave for around €4 million because of a release clause on his contract. He had an impressive season despite Huesca’s relegation and could push Firpo for the starting left-back berth at Leeds next term. The reported price seems quite reasonable for a player of his ability, and his addition could prove to be a bargain. Galan is quite effective going forward and has the ability to ...
Marcelo Bielsa gives green light to sell 27-year-old, Leeds value him at £15m – report
Leeds United are open to parting ways with Helder Costa as they look to reinforce their attack with a new summer signing, Football Insider reports. The Portuguese was a key player in Leeds’ promotion to the top-flight in 2019/2020, registering five goals and eight assists from 46 outings. They signed him permanently from Wolverhampton Wanderers last term, but his game time was limited with the fine form of Jack Harrison and Raphinha. He still managed five goals and five assists from 27 appearances, and it appears that he could head for the exit door with the club eyeing a new attacker. Marcelo Bielsa has given the green light for his transfer. Costa’s agent Jorge Mendes is brokering the deal and believes his client would be successful in La Liga. Valencia are interested in the £15 mil...
Phil Hay: Leeds hold ‘genuine’ interest in 22-year-old winger
The Athletic journalist Phil Hay has given a detailed picture of how Leeds United’s transfer window has been shaping up. He says that like every other window, it will be “productive but measured, without going to extreme lengths.” Marcelo Bielsa made a personal effort to persuade Junior Firpo to move to Elland Road this summer from Barcelona, with the Whites spending £13 million on the left-back. While Bielsa wants to sign players quickly to integrate them into pre-season training, the signing of Raphinha last season taught him that patience makes a big difference in the transfer window. Leeds will also try to sign a winger this summer, but the search could drag on until the end of the window. Hay claims that the Yorkshire club are genuinely interested in Club Brugge’s Noa Lang, but t...
“Unbelievably disappointing news” – some Leeds fans react to player signing for Turkish club
Galatasaray are on the verge of signing Ezgjan Alioski from Premier League club Leeds United on a free transfer. Galatasaray are set to complete the agreement with Gianni Alioski to sign former Leeds fullback as free agent. 🇹🇷 #Galatasaray #LUFC Deal at final stages for Alioski to Gala after talks collapsed with Patrick van Aanholt – no agreement on personal terms with the Dutch LB. — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) July 15, 2021 As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the deal is at its final stages after talks with Patrick Van Aanholt collapsed due to a disagreement in personal terms.

Leeds could submit offer for 20-yr-old this summer, they wanted him in 2020 as well
Leeds are thought to be keen on a summer move for the Valerenga goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson in the summer. According to Nettavisen, the 20-year-old Norwegian has caught the attention of the Premier League club with his impressive performances for Valerenga and Leeds have been keeping tabs on him for quite some time now. The Premier League side will have to bring in a quality backup option for Illan Meslier after the departure of Kiko Casilla on loan to Elche. The 20 year old Norwegian could compete with the 21-year-old Frenchman for the starting berth at Elland Road next season and he could prove to be a superb long-term investment for the whites. Furthermore, the increased competition for places could help both players perform at a high level. Leeds wanted to sign the player back in 20...
Report: Leeds pushing to sign international ‘warrior’, would need to smash their transfer record
Leeds are still pushing hard to sign Nahitan Nandez but Cagliari are refusing to lower their demands for the midfielder according to a report from Corriere dello Sport (print edition, July 13th, pages 22 and 23). The Whites have plenty of footballers who are easy on the eye. They do lack any kind of bite and tenacity in the middle of the park, however. Leeds are allegedly pushing hard to get a deal done for Nahitan Nandez of Cagliari – Jonathan Moscrop / Sportimage PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxUK SPI-1051-0049 And Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa has clearly identified that as an area of his squad at Elland Road that needs to be addressed.

Leeds United have reportedly made an approach for 24y/o Newcastle United man
Leeds United want another goalkeeper this summer following the loan exit of Kiko Casilla and have made an approach for Newcastle United’s Freddie Woodman. That is according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, who also report that Whites director of football Victor Orta hopes to be able to conclude a deal quickly. Leeds want a goalie capable of competing with and providing back up to head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s first-choice Illan Meslier. Sportslens View Woodman has spent the last two seasons away from Newcastle on loan at Swansea City, reaching the finals of the Championship play-offs with them last season. With Martin Dubravka still the first-choice at St. James’ Park and Karl Darlow providing cover, the 24-year-old has no chance of playing regularly should he remain on Tyneside, and another e...
Report: PL rival ready to bid for 24 y/o after Leeds refused to meet asking price
Burnley are ready to make a bid for Lyon defender Maxwel Cornet this summer. According to The Sun, the Clarets are in talks to sign the 24-year-old and are ready to bid around £13 million for the Ivory Coast international. The report claims that Burnley want extra pace, and they have earmarked Cornet as a perfect fit for their squad. Cornet can play at left-back and further forward, and his versatility would be handy for the Clarets. German outfit Hertha Berlin are also in the race for the player’s signature and could offer more than Burnley are willing to splurge. We have already seen several players moving from the Ligue 1 to England this summer, and Cornet could do the same. Cornet was heavily linked with a move to Leeds United, but they were not willing to meet Lyon’s asking ...
Report: Leeds want to sign £25 million winger after EURO 2020 heroics
Leeds are keen to sign Sampdoria ace Mikkel Damsgaard after his fine performances for Denmark at Euro 2020 this summer, according to a report from Tuttosport. Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa seems to be on a mission to get Leeds back to the top echelons of the game. Junior Firpo has already arrived from Barcelona while links with Nahitan Nandez (Corriere dello Sport) and Matheus Cunha (Leeds Live) continue to circulate. And it seems as though another name is now on the Whites’ radar. Mikkel Damsgaard is allegedly a transfer target for Leeds United Mikkel Damsgaard a transfer target for Leeds Tuttosport claims that the Yorkshire outfit could challenge Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur for the talented 21-year-old this summer.

Tottenham and Leeds keen on 21-yr-old midfielder, Paratici a big fan of the player
Denmark international Mikkel Damsgaard has been outstanding for his country at the European Championships. According to Club Doria 46, Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing him, with newly appointed director of football Fabio Paratici a big fan of the youngster. The 21-year-old is highly rated at Sampdoria, and they will probably demand a premium if Spurs come calling this summer. They are not the only Premier League club interested in Damsgaard, with Leeds United, Southampton, Crystal Palace and West Ham United also keeping tabs on him. Tottenham need to add more creativity to their midfield, and Damsgaard could be the ideal long-term replacement for Christian Eriksen. The Londoners have missed a specialist creator since the Danish international’s departure, and his compatriot could impro...
Report suggests Leeds are following 24-yr-old defender, another PL club keen
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Ivorian defender Maxwel Cornet. According to Foot Mercato, Leeds and Watford are following the defender, and he could be sold for the right price. SL View: Leeds must look to sign a centre-back instead The Whites recently signed Junior Firpo from Barcelona, and it would be quite surprising if they decided to invest in another left-back. There is no doubt that Marcelo Bielsa needs to improve his defensive options this summer, but Leeds are better off investing in a quality centre-back instead. Robin Koch has failed to impress since moving to Elland Road, while Diego Llorente struggled to showcase his potential because of injury problems. The 24-year-old Lyon defender is a good player, but he would struggle for regular game time at Leeds. Firpo i...
