Good Morning. It's Wednesday 3rd August, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road


Leeds closing in on PSG star with €20m bid

It has been reported that in the last 24 hours, Leeds have submitted a €20m bid for PSG forward Arnaud Kalimuendo. The French U21 International has been on Victor Orta's radar all Summer, but were reluctant to swoop whilst they had a chance to sign Charles De Ketelaere from Brugge. Now that the Belgium International has finally penned a long term deal at the San Siro, Leeds are keen not to miss out on their second target.

Kalimuendo is highly regarded at PSG, but has little chance of breaking into the starting line up, as he contends with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. PSG’s director of football Luis Campos is hoping to complete a deal between €20m and €25m (£16.7m-£21m).



Sarr on Leeds radar

Leeds are reported to be interested in Watford's winger Ismaila Sarr. The 24yo Senegalese International joined the Hornets from Rennes back in the Summer of 2019 for a reported club record £30m, but has never managed to set the World alight. Last season, in the top flight, he netted five times, and registered two assists in 22 games, yet the Championship outfit have slapped a €35 m (£29.2m) price tag on him.

Leeds remain on the hunt for both a striker, and a left back, so being linked to another winger will only fuel speculation about Jack Harrison's future.



Do Leeds want rid of Drameh

Leeds-live have revealed that Swansea City wanted to sign Cody Drameh on loan this summer, but Leeds were only willing to sell the young right back, and unfortunately the Swans were unable to meet Leeds valuation.

The 20yo has two years left on his three-year deal, but his yearning for first team football may have worked against him. Whilst he earned rave reviews from his performances for Cardiff in the second half of last season, it is believed he put several noses out of joint by demanding a loan move.

With the arrival of Rasmus Kristensen, and Ayling expected to resume training later this month, the likelihood is that Drameh could be pushed further down the pecking line at Elland Road.
