Leeds United could make signings on transfer deadline day.
Leeds United have equipped new manager Marcelo Bielsa with five new signings this summer, as Jamal Blackman, Barry Douglas, Lewis Baker, Jack Harrison and Patrick Bamford have all arrive at Elland Road.
It’s unclear whether Leeds will be active today, but a few names are being linked with moves to Elland Road – and here are the players to keep an eye on as the Whites consider additions, though it’s worth noting that they can still sign loan players until August 31st even after today’s deadline.
Albert Adomah
Bielsa may look to add pace to his ranks, and the Birmingham Mail now report that Leeds have held talks with Aston Villa about a potential deadline day move for winger Albert Adomah. The Ghanaian wide man hit 14 goals and five assists for Villa last season and has allegedly snubbed a new contract with Villa, giving Leeds hope of signing the 30-year-old – though they may face a battle with Middlesbrough.
Steven Caulker
A surprise link emerged on Wednesday, as The Mirror claimed that Leeds hold an interest in snapping up Dundee defender Steven Caulker, with Leeds and Rangers allegedly preparing £1.5million bids. Formerly of Tottenham Hotspur, Cardiff City, QPR and Liverpool, Caulker’s career has been derailed in recent years, but he is getting back on track in Scotland, and Leeds may look to land the centre back today.
Oliver Norwood
Even though Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich have impressed under Bielsa and Baker has arrived, but another midfielder appears to be on the wish list. The Sun reported on Wednesday that Leeds are in advanced talks to land Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Oliver Norwood for just £1.5million, after the former Manchester United ace spent time on loan with Fulham last season, and he could be the favourite to make a move to Elland Road.
Moussa Konate
Forward Bamford has been signed in a big-money move, but also striker has been linked, with L’Equipe reporting on Tuesday that Amiens attacker Moussa Konate is a target for the Whites. Leeds may not have enough time to push through a big-money deal for Konate, but he remains a prime name to keep tabs on after an impressive season in France, in which he scored 10 goals in 27 Ligue 1 games last season.
