Leeds United have once again been linked with Mbaye Diagne by Tavkim.

Leeds are said to be keen on the Galatasaray forward, who has seemingly been on the Whites’ radar for a long time now.

Diagne is available for £6 million this summer according to A Spor, with a clutch of English sides interested in him.

And Leeds are considered one of the potential candidates in line to sign him.

Leeds are said to be looking at a number of strikers, as they plan for life in the Premier League.

If Leeds were to complete a deal for Diagne it would be a surprise though, given tensions between them and Galatasaray.

Any negotiation would be difficult to complete given the history between the two sides.

Diagne would be a help to Leeds though, and could potentially be an exciting addition to their team.

The forward has hit 42 goals in 49 appearances in Turkey’s top flight, and even has experienced playing in the Champions League before.
