All the latest Leeds United transfer news and rumours as Jesse Marsch and the club’s recruitment staff negotiate the summer transfer window.

By Jamie Kemble

Leeds United are already making plenty of progress on their summer plans.

Jesse Marsch has already snapped up a number of new signings, including highly-rated USA international Brenden Aaronson.

But it will be potential exits that are concerning Marsch and Victor Orta, with key stars Kalvin Phillips being linked with moves away this summer.

If either or both of those players leave this summer, Leeds could be left with almighty gaps to fill, and that’s likely causing a headache or two behind the scenes.

It’s something the club must navigate as they look to strengthen ahead of the new season, and strengthen they must after coming all too close to relegation last season.

With all that in mind, we have rounded up all the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Elland Road.

Raphinha latest

Arsenal chief Edu is now said to have met with Raphinha’s agent Deco.

That’s according to The Sun, who say Arsenal are now pushing for a move for the Brazilian, who is valued as highly as £60million.

The report follows another that has claimed Barcelona’s interest has now cooled, potentially opening the way for the Gunners to secure a deal.

Traore interest

Leeds are said to hold an interest in signing returning Barcelona star Adama Traore this summer.

ExWestHamEmployee has told The Transfer Show: “Adama Traore is an interesting one. He’s got Leeds now looking at trying to sign him.

“He was on loan at Barcelona last year; Leeds now looking to bring him in. I think he’d be a good signing for them if they can get the attitude and get him performing to the best of his abilities.”

Wolves may well look to offload Traore this summer having sent him on loan last season with an option to buy, one that Barca decided not to take up.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United board break silence after transfer window with statement on upcoming Elland Road development — YEP 2/9/24

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation. The work is expected to take around two months to complete.

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
