Leeds United continue to search for a new playmaker – and Bayern Munich’s Michaël Cuisance appears to be a top target.

The Mirror report that Leeds intend to hand Cuisance a five-year deal, with a move now seen as very possible.

L’Equipe note that Leeds are offering around €20million (£18million) for Cuisance, in the hope of beating Newcastle United to his signature.

Cuisance, 21, wasn’t included in Bayern’s squad on Sunday as they were hammered by Hoffenheim, but he was in the news on Monday.

Bild report that Cuisance was involved in a training ground bust-up with Robert Lewandowski, after the Pole left him on the ground ‘for a while’ with a strong tackle.

Cuisance allegedly moved towards Lewandowski and gesticulated at him, but no fight ensued as Lewandowski merely ignored the situation.

The two players have taken to Twitter to comically shoot down the rumours, with Cuisance claiming the reports ‘taught him something’ and Lewandowski merely posting laughing emojis.

Fight or no fight, exit rumours continue to swirl around Cuisance, and this could be one of his final training sessions with Lewandowki as Leeds push to try and complete a deal.
