Leeds United ‘plot move’ for Premier League wide man as agent ‘holds meeting’ with club chief - YEP 21/6/22
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.
