Bit quiet on the transfer front today but Leeds are still working on Sampdoria full back Gaetano Berardi deal. Should be signing number five. #lufc

Leeds United are trailing Roma midfielder Federico Viviani.

The Elland Road side are gearing up for a promotion push next season and they have set their sights on Italy Under-21 ace Viviani.

The 22-year-old, who emerged from Roma’s academy, has managed only six Serie A appearances for the capital club and has spent the majority of the past two seasons out on loan.

Now sources in Italy claim Leeds could offer him an escape route from the Stadio Olimpico.

Viviani, who is valued at around £2m, has three years left to run on his deal at Roma

Verona also chasing him.
Let's see - Move to a decent Serie A club in his home country - or move to a crap Championship club in cold rainy England?

Someone tell him it's hotter here in the UK than some parts of the Mediterrnanean news bulletins sending out health warnings as the temperature is going to rise upto 32c this weekend

Yup, the twitter rumour of heskey started with a fake BBC sport reporter...

Someone had photoshopped and pretended to be a woman from bbc sport working in the industry, someone managed to do abit of digging and discover the origiginal photo belonged to someone working for a russian charity. I will never understand what someone gets from doing something like that..... the most pathetic thing.

How strange or shall I say deranged

Just had a text from my mate who is on holiday in Southern Italy and he has been talking to Andy Johnson, who's contract has just finished with QPR, and he said that Leeds have been in contact with him with regards a move to Elland Rd.

How old is Johnson now ?

Welcome back Chester

[Martyn]

How old is Johnson now ?

Welcome back Chester

33. Born 10/2/81

[The Subhuman]

33 but seems to be the small wiry type that could play to a decent standard at that age...

[Martyn]

I'd certainly be a lot more enthusiastic about Andy Johnson than I am about Nile Ranger

[The Subhuman]

I'd be more enthusiastic about Robbie Fowler coming back than Nile Ranger

Hes passed it by a long way!

Hes injury prone, hes lost the pace he once had and his scoring record in the past 8 years is something you would expect from a midfielder.

The last 8 years hes managed only 32 goals in over 160 app's

In other words, compared to Hunt he is prolific.

You will all be shocked to hear that Leeds are being linked with a chase for a certain Max Gradel...... didn't see that one coming!

We're in the European market now DD with Cellino at the helm

[LEEDSirish]

The Yorkshire club are targetting a move for the former Leeds winger, and are ready to battle AFC Bournemouth for his signature.

The 26-year-old left Elland Road for French side Saint-Etienne in 2011 for an undisclosed fee.

Gradel, who has a year left on his contract with Saint-Etienne, came close to joining West Ham United in January.

The Elland Road outfit are eager to add some depth and pace to their midfield and see Gradel as an ideal addition to the squad.

Dave Hockaday’s side have already signed four players, following the signings of Tommaso Bianchi, Marco Silvestri, Stuart Taylor and Souleymane Doukara.

Please Mr. Cellino pay him what he wants, it's a no brainer, in my humble opinion he's the best we've had at Leeds since we were relegated
