Leeds United News has the latest information on Leeds United’s deadline day deals, following Emi Buendia bids being rejected.
Leeds United are working hard behind the scenes to give Daniel Farke one more attacking player before the transfer deadline.
The likes of Adam Underwood, Robbie Evans, and Alex Davies are all in discussions behind the scenes at present, with a creative player the thing Farke has demanded.
Farke has warned relegation will be harder to avoid if they do not bring in another addition or two before the deadline this evening, per Beren Cross.

Harry Wilson emerges as an option for Leeds United on deadline day
Leeds were given Buendia hope earlier today before a recent update stated Aston Villa rejected Leeds’ Buendia loan bid.
That reply has seen Leeds move on swiftly to other options. There are numerous on the shortlist but Leeds United News have learnt of the situation regarding one of them.
Sources have confirmed Harry Wilson of Fulham is one of the players Leeds are seriously considering prior to the deadline. The club are weighing up what sort of offer to put together for the versatile winger.
He can operate as an attacking midfielder or wide playmaker, which he has done at club level for the likes of Fulham and Derby County, as well as AFC Bournemouth.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists |
| Premier League | 123 | 19 | 14 |
| Championship | 134 | 40 | 40 |
| Internationals (Wales) | 62 | 14 | 11 |
Leeds were linked to Wilson when at Liverpool. Marcelo Bielsa wanted to bring the forward in after his success on loan with Hull City. His playmaking abilities and long-distance shooting have always been impressive aspects of his skill-set.
Wilson is in the final year of his contract, and a loan is being discussed if Fulham are open to it; but a permanent deal is far more likely to be considered by Fulham in the remaining hours of the window.
However, any move for Wilson may be contingent on Fulham acquiring more targets of their own. That said, things are promising on that front already for the Cottagers.
Fulham eye as many as four forwards on transfer deadline day
Fulham are working hard on a few forwards already, and as many as three of them could be signed before the deadline, albeit one for Shakhtar Donetsk’s Kevin has stalled — per Fabrizio Romano.
Chelsea’s Tyrique George could yet seal a deadline day move to Fulham, with a deal agreed. That comes via David Ornstein’s latest update.
AC Milan forward Samuel Chukwueze and Chelsea’s Raheem Sterling are both also on their shortlist. A deal over a loan could yet be completed before 7pm for two or more of the players named.
Should a few of the aforementioned get done, Leeds could bring in Wilson. His set-piece delivery is thought to be ideal for a Leeds team with plenty of height.
