Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: £20m Quarta move, Joe Gelhardt interest, Erras link

Leeds United look to have one foot in the Premier League after taking another huge step towards promotion at the weekend.

The dramatic win over Swansea leaves the Whites potentially just one win away from ending their 16-year wait for a return to the top flight, but it looks to just be a matter of time now.

And, assuming all goes to plan, Marcelo Bielsa will look to strengthen his side ahead of their first season back in this summer’s transfer window.

Here are the latest transfer rumours and gossip coming from Elland Road.

Quarta wanted

Leeds United want to sign Lucas Martinez Quarta from River Plate this summer.

A report from Argentina has claimed that Leeds are hoping to secure a deal this summer because they believe a deal would become even more difficult in the post-Brexit era.

The Argentine has a £20million release-clause in his contract, but cash-strapped River Plate could be willing to sell for less.

Gelhardt interest

Leeds United are the latest club to be linked with a move for Wigan Athletic youngster Joe Gelhardt.

The Sun is reporting that the 18-year-old is attracting transfer interest from Whites, who are expected to bolster their squad this summer.

Gelhardt is also believed to be attracting transfer interest from the likes of Tottenham, Everton, Southampton and Celtic.

Erras linked

Leeds are one of three clubs reportedly in the race to sign free agent Patrick Erras this summer following his exit from Nurnberg.

Bild (via Inside Futbol ) claim there is interest from Elland Road in the 25-year-old, alongside Queen’s Park Rangers and Werder Bremen.

The German midfielder helped Nurnberg stave off relegation to the third tier in Germany after helping his side to a promotion/relegation play-off victory over Ingolstadt, with the club said to still be hopeful of persuading the player to stay.
