The mass exodus at Leeds United could continue with another star now headed for the exit.

The Leeds United squad that came so close to promotion last season is quickly being picked apart this summer.

Glen Kamara was the latest player to have left the club after securing a permanent transfer to French outfit Stade Rennais this week.

He joins the likes of Archie Gray, Marc Roca and Diego Llorente in heading for the exit at Elland Road this summer.

The bad news for Leeds fans is – there could be more departures still to come.

HITC understands that Crystal Palace have considered Wilfried Gnonto as an option to replace Michael Olise, while Everton have also shown an interest in the Italian winger.

But reports from France suggest that there is fresh interest in Crysencio Summerville too.

Crysencio Summerville could follow Glen Kamara to France

According to French outlet L’Equipe, Stade Rennais are now working on a deal to reunite Summerville with Kamara.

Kamara completed his move to the club on Tuesday and they are now back in talks with Leeds over another deal.

The report adds that Summerville expects to leave Leeds this summer and that he is listed on the market for around €20 million (£17million).

They also write that Summerville – who was hailed by Daniel Farke as “outstanding” last season – would not be opposed to joining Rennes this summer.

Leeds United face a difficult season

After coming so close to returning to the Premier League last season, Leeds have only seemed to weaken their squad this summer.

They have raised plenty of cash through sales but only Joe Rodon, Joe Rothwell and Alex Cairns have arrived as new signings.

With the Euros and Copa America now over, Leeds are under pressure to accelerate their transfer business and sort new arrivals quickly.

Their slow start to the last campaign proved costly in the long run and they cannot afford a repeat this season.
