iNews claim Leeds are continuing to keep tabs on Hull City wide man Keane Lewis-Potter as a potential replacement for Raphinha. Tottenham and West Ham are also said to be keen admirers of the Hull attacker.

Lewis-Potter, 21, enjoyed another superb season for Hull in which he produced 17 goal involvements during the 2021-22 campaign – scoring 13 and creating four more. It has led to obvious comparisons with Jarrod Bowen.

Also likened to Eden Hazard by Hull coach Craig Fagan, Lewis-Potter could be on the move this summer. His contract at Hull is due to expire in 2023, and if the Championship side want cash for his signature, they will have to sell.

Reports earlier this month state that Tottenham and West Ham want Lewis-Potter, with £18million enough to secure a deal. Now, iNews say Leeds are monitoring Lewis-Potter and could bring him in as a replacement for Raphinha.

Leeds keep tabs on Hull wide man Lewis-Potter

Numerous players are being linked with Leeds – as Raphinha continued to be touted with a move this summer. As things stand, Barcelona cannot afford his £65million price tag. Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea are keen.

The Gunners have had a bid rejected but are likely to return with a second, while Spurs and Chelsea have held talks – as per Fabrizio Romano. So a move to London could be on the cards, and Leeds will need to replace the 25-year-old.

But the chances are, that Leeds will do something similar Aston Villa did after selling Jack Grealish. Instead of spending all the cash on one player, they might bring in two or three to cover Raphinha – and Lewis-Potter might be one.
