Reports in France are reporting that Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Cuisance could be set to move to Elland Road in a move that will excite Leeds United transfer news followers.
Despite spending close to £80 million already this summer, Leeds are in advanced talks to bring Cuisance to Elland Road before the end of the transfer window.
French media outlet L’Equipe were among the first to break the news, stating that the Bayern man will join Leeds on a five-year deal.
Sky Sports journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed the news, announcing on Twitter that a fee has yet to be agreed but personal terms had been agreed between Leeds and Cuisance.
Romano claimed that Bayern Munich are likely to ask for around £18 million for the player, which could tempt Leeds to focus on Cuisance instead of long term target Rodrigo De Paul.
With Udinese rejecting a £22.7 million bid for the midfielder, Leeds may focus on Cuisance with less than two weeks of the transfer window remaining.
Leeds have enjoyed success since returning to the Premier League but Marcelo Bielsa will be keen to bolster his squad as the Whites bid to avoid relegation back to the Championship.
Cantwell Rumours Picking Up Pace
Todd Cantwell was one of the bright sparks for Norwich City last season and Leeds have been linked with a move for the Canaries midfielder this summer.
With the likes of Liverpool and Aston Villa also showing interest in the £30 million midfielder, Leeds are set to face stiff competition for his signature.
However, bookmakers make Leeds favourites to sign Cantwell before October’s deadline and Whites fans will be hoping to see him playing at Elland Road in the near future.
As reported by 888sport on Saturday, a move for Cantwell has legs but Norwich are awaiting an official bid from Leeds. Based on speculation, an offer may be coming sooner rather than later.
Leeds To Rival Clubs For Sessegnon
It looks like Ryan Sessegnon is going to head out on loan before the end of the summer transfer window, with Leeds one of the clubs linked with the Tottenham Hotspur star.
One of the most versatile players in English football, Sessegnon is talented and he could prove very useful indeed to Marcelo Bielsa throughout the 2020/21 campaign.
Leeds face competition from the likes of Southampton, Burnley and Brighton & Hove Albion in the coming months, with The Athletic’s David Ornstein expecting a race for the youngster.
The Whites are looking to bolster their squad ahead of October’s deadline and Sessegnon looks like he would be an excellent fit at Elland Road.
Leeds United player rumours have been rife in recent weeks and speculation continues to link Bielsa’s men with numerous players across Europe. Follow the latest developments here at 888sport.
