New link emerges as Leeds United and Man Utd transfer claim made
Leeds United transfer speculations and news as the Whites prepare to play Southampton in the Championship on Saturday.
Leeds United will try to maintain their winning streak against Southampton on Saturday. In their most recent match, the Whites defeated Watford 3-0.
They are presently ranked sixth in the Championship rankings. Here’s a look at some of the most recent club news and rumors.
A striker was required.
According to The Athletic, Borussia Dortmund were interested in signing Georginio Rutter from Leeds over the summer. The Bundesliga club expressed ‘interest’ in signing the forward during the previous transfer window and inquired about his availability before the Whites indicated he was unavailable.
The former France youth international arrived to England in January from Hoffenheim, where he failed to score in 11 games as his club was demoted from the Premier League. However, under Farke, he is finding his feet and has put in some outstanding performances so far this season.
newest linked winger
Leeds United were linked with a deal for Manchester United winger Amad Diallo as they prepared for his second season in the Championship, with Leicester City, Southampton, and Sunderland. He was a big hit on loan for the latter, helping them reach the play-offs last season under Tony Mowbray.
However, the attacker suffered an injury during pre-season and did not return to Old Trafford. According to the Manchester Evening News, he is pushing up his recovery and is likely to be fit for the Red Devils after the October international break, which is good news for Erik ten Hag’s team. They will then have to make a serious decision on what to do with him before January.
