PSG owners Qatar Sports Investors are looking at acquiring a stake in Leeds United, the New York Times reported this week.

This could potentially open the door for more incoming transfers – we took a look at four PSG players who could join Leeds.

That doesn’t sound as exciting, but it’s every bit as essential if Marcelo Bielsa is to take Leeds from third to finish first or second next season.

Kemar Roofe is one of the players at risk. He has just one year left on his contract.

Losing him would be a worry after he finished as top scorer.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports he wants a ‘significant’ increase in his salary.

QSI’s cash injection would enable Leeds to keep him.

Premier League teams are also eyeing up Leeds winger Jack Clarke, with talk of big money offers mooted, The Mail claim.

This would normally be difficult for Leeds to resist. With QSI’s money, Leeds would be able to keep him.
