Latest Leeds United rumours: Leicester City transfer boost, Whites snatch Irish starlet

Phillips boost

Leicester City are adamant they will not sell Wilfred Ndidi this summer, boosting Leeds United's hopes of retaining Kalvin Phillips.

Phillips has been touted as a potential replacement for the Nigerian midfielder, who has attracted interest from Manchester United.

Allnigeriasoccer.com report that the Foxes have signalled their intent to retain Ndidi, regardless of whatever offers they may receive.

Ndidi, like Phillips, is tied to a long-term contract with Leicester that he signed last year.

Leeds pinch Allen

Leeds United have won the race to sign Linfield teenage sensation Charlie Allen, report BelfastLive.

The coveted 16-year-old forward is considered one of the most exciting young talents in Northern Ireland football.

Linfield will receive fees for the boys who have impressed when they have turned out for the Northern Ireland under-16 side.

Allen has been tracked by some of the biggest outfits in England including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham. Scottish giants Rangers have also been linked to the gifted youngster who made his first-team bow with Linfield aged just 15.

Leeds target Osayi-Samuel

Leeds are set to compete with a host of other clubs for Queens Park Rangers forward Bright Osayi-Samuel.

The 22-year-old has dazzled this campaign, scoring six times in 32 games as he established himself in west London.

QPR triggered a 12-month extension to Osayi-Samuel’s contract in February to keep him at the club until next summer but they may be forced to cash in on the youngster now rather than lose him for nothing in 2021.

Leeds amongst others are fighting for his signature, according to Football Insider.
