Leeds are in talks to sign Luis Sinisterra as a replacement for Raphinha but Everton are still a threat for the Feyenoord wide man.
Kalvin Phillips has left Leeds today, securing big-money move to Premier League champions Manchester City.
There may soon be another departure as winger Raphinha is widely expected to make a big move of his own.
Whether it’s Arsenal, Barcelona or Chelsea, Raphinha is unlikely to be a Leeds player next season.
The Whites do have Daniel James and Jack Harrison at their disposal but another winger would be needed – and Leeds appear to have a top target in mind.
Leeds are in talks to sign Luis Sinisterra
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf report that Leeds are in ‘extensive negotiations’ with Feyenoord over a deal for winger Luis Sinisterra.
It’s suggested that Leeds are chasing a deal worth between €20million and €30million (£17million and £26million) for Sinisterra.
Leeds want to get a deal done quickly for Sinisterra and that may be because they know other clubs are interested.
Everton are understood to be very interested and could look to spend some of the Richarlison money on signing the Colombian.
Leeds have made their move but will face a major battle for Sinisterra’s signature.
Sinisterra, 23, possesses blistering pace but mostly plays on the left flank cutting in on his right foot; Raphinha was the inverse, playing on the right but cutting in on his left.
The former Once Caldas star was simply sensational last season, racking up a ridiculous 23 goals and 14 assists in 49 games across all competitions.
Hailed as a ‘really wonderful’ player over in the Netherlands, Sinisterra has been expected to leave Feyenoord alongside Orkun Kokcu and Tyrell Malacia this summer.
Leeds are positioning themselves for an exciting deal and another piece of positive recruitment after landing Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca and Darko Gyabi.
