Okay Yokuslu
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).

Big Sam explains why West Brom abandoned Ahmed Musa deal
West Brom manager Sam Allardyce has revealed the reason behind the Baggies decision not to offer Ahmed Musa a contract at the end of his trials with the club. Allardyce insists West Brom weren’t in a position to sign Musa on a short-term deal after the loan captures of Mbaye Diagne, Okay Yokuslu and Ainsley Maitland-Niles towards the end of the January transfer window.

It’s a s...
