Crystal Palace lead Loader race, Bielsa sets eyes on Argentinian duo - Leeds United rumours

Leeds United remain on course for promotion back to the Premier League.

Marcelo Bielsa's men are six points clear of third-place Brentford with just six games remaining.

But while all focus remains on getting over the line, Leeds must also think about strengthening ahead of next season, especially if they want to get a head start on building a Premier League-ready squad.

The Whites have already been linked with a wide variety of names and below, we have all the latest gossip.

Palace lead Loader chase

Crystal Palace have offered former Reading striker Danny Loader a three-year deal.

That's according to the Daily Mail, who say the Eagles now lead the race despite reported interest from Leeds United.

Loader was offered a new contract at Reading but the Royals withdrew their offer due to the financial impact of coronavirus.

The striker has made 28 first-team league appearances to date, netting twice.

He is also being eyed by Swansea City and Vitoria SC, according to the report.

Leeds eye Argentinian duo

Leeds are said to be interested in a move for Argentinian pair Matias Zaracho and Lucas Martinez Quarta.

According to Doble Amarilla, Bielsa is hoping to land two of his fellow countrymen.

Quarta, a 24-year-old midfielder, is a regular for River Plate, winning two caps for Argentina during his four years as a first-team player.

Leeds are also said to be eyeing Zaracho, a 22-year-old midfielder, but AC Milan are also being linked.

Zaracho is currently at Racing and since becoming a senior player, he has made 64 league appearances for the club.

Whites enter race for frontman

The Whites have entered the race for Union Berlin frontman Sebastian Andersson, according to Kicker.

Though, West Brom and Newcastle United are also being touted with a move for the striker who has netted 12 goals in 33 Bundesliga appearances this season.

The 28-year-old has a release clause of £3.5m and is described as an 'old-school number nine'.

Andersson is a nine-time Sweden international and he has been at Union since 2018, when he joined from FC Kaiserslautern.
