Latest Leeds United transfer news: £14m Cabral move, shock Shane Duffy bid, Florentino latest

Leeds United are continuing to push to bolster their squad ahead of their long-awaited Premier League return, which is now just a few weeks away.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have already made a number of signings ahead of their return to the top-flight, landing the likes of Joe Gelhardt and Charlie Allen.

A wealth of names have continued to be linked with a move to Elland Road and fresh rumours crop up on a regular basis.

Here, we have gathered some of the latest snippets surrounding the Whites.

Defenders linked with a Leeds United transfer

£14m Cabral bid

Leeds have made a £14m bid in an attempt to sign FC Basel striker Arthur Cabral, Globo Esporte states.

The Whites are looking to improve their attacking options ahead of the Premier League return and the Brazilian is said to be a firm target for Marcelo Bielsa's side.

It also claims Leeds are negotiating the deal with businessman Paulo Pitombeira, who has links to Bielsa.

The pair worked together in 2017 when Bielsa secured the signing of Thiago Mendes for Lille.

Fulham join Florentino Luis hunt

Fulham are set to join Leeds in the hunt for Benfica midfielder Florentino Luis, the Mail reports.

The midfielder is said to be available for a £2.5m loan fee, though Benfica will push for a clause for a £40m permanent switch next summer.

AC Milan are also in the market for his services, while Manchester United and Manchester City have scouted him previously.

Shane Duffy bid

Leeds are set to make a bid to sign Brighton defender Shane Duffy, according to reports.

The Scottish Mail states the Whites are competing with Celtic to land the defender, with West Ham, West Brom and Burnley also in the running.

However, it is reported that Celtic is his preferred destination.
