Leeds close to agreeing fee for West Ham and Everton target Arnaud Kalimuendo
90min have reported that Leeds are wiling to pay €25 million (£21.08 million) for Kalimuendo, and that defending French champions PSG are close to approving it.
However, according to the report, PSG head coach Christophe Galtier does not want to lose the 20-year-old French striker.
Leeds’ Premier League rivals West Ham and Everton have also been linked with the France Under-21 international striker.
Goal reported on July 29 that West Ham are interested in Kalimuendo, while 90min reported on July 20 that Everton and Newcastle United have made contact in regard to signing the 20-year-old this summer.
Could a transfer happen?
In our view, Leeds United could be able to sign Arnaud Kalimuendo from Paris Saint-Germain ahead of Everton and West Ham United.
Now, Galtier may not want to lose the youngster, but if he does not stand of getting enough playing time this season, then he could be tempted to move to Leeds.
After all, PSG have Kylian Mbappe as their main striker, and they have also signed Hugo Ekitike.
And let’s not forget that PSG have Neymar and Lionel Messi as well in their attack.
