Leeds United transfer rumours latest, including updates on Dominic Calvert-Lewin, two left-backs, and playmaker Franck Honorat.
The transfer window is well underway now and Leeds United are continuing their momentum in the market as more concrete transfer news is emerging with every passing day of the window.
A busy summer is expected at Leeds as Daniel Farke looks to improve several areas of the side, with the Leeds squad far from ready ahead of the club’s return to the Premier League.
Lukas Nmecha, Jaka Bijol, and Sebastiaan Bornauw all became Leeds players in recent weeks, meaning they have three new additions thus far and Gabriel Gudmundsson and more are set to follow.
In the meantime, with vital months ahead for Farke, the 49ers, and Leeds’ recruitment team, here we have taken a look at some of the latest transfer news and the biggest headlines coming out of the club.
Valencia join Leeds in the race for Franck Honorat
Carlos Corberan is looking to derail his old side’s plans to sign one of the most-underrated wingers in the Bundesliga this summer from Borussia Monchengladbach.
Farke coached Gladbach, though he did not overlap with Honorat. The playmaker can operate as a wide player or attacking midfielder and Leeds were linked with a move for Honorat last month.
The same report described him as the Bundesliga outfit’s ‘best player’. Now, Corberan’s Valencia also want Honorat and have joined Leeds in the race for the 28-year-old.
Leeds join West Ham United in the El Hadji Malick Diouf race
A deal for Gabriel Gudmundsson is close with the Lille star to travel to England but he is not the only left-back to have come onto Leeds’ radar in recent days.
Slavia Prague’s El Hadji Malick Diouf was outstanding playing on the left of a 3-4-3 system for Senegal against England and he has now been linked with a switch to Leeds.
West Ham United have seen an overall bid including add-ons worth £17.25 million rejected, but remain in talks while Nottingham Forest and Leeds are also looking at Diouf.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin interest emerges from Man United
Recently, it was stated that Leeds chose to reject the chance of signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer from Everton, due to his injury record being a severe blot on his CV.
His request for too expensive a wage saw the Whites pull out of any race earlier this summer. The main concern has to be that Calvert-Lewin is too injury-prone, as Leeds already have numerous strikers of that type.
In terms of his profile, he still has something to offer to the Premier League and Man United are now being linked with Calvert-Lewin on a free transfer; it would certainly be a shock move after his recent issues with fitness.
