As football remains suspended, Leeds United continue to wait to see if they will be able to resume their bid for promotion to the Premier League.
The club were top of the Championship table and looked set for a return to the top-flight, but the coronavirus outbreak has thrown title, promotion and relegation battles into chaos.
Yet behind the scenes, the Whites are preparing for the upcoming transfer window.
And we’ve put together all the latest transfer rumours for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Whites set to sign Allen
Leeds are set to sign 16-year-old Linfield forward Charlie Allen, according to Football Insider.
The starlet became the Northern Irish side’s youngest ever debutant and has since made eight appearances for the first team.
Leeds are said to have fought off interest from Rangers and Chelsea to land Allen for 300,000, with personal terms agreed and the final paperwork set to be completed.
Allen is expected to initially sign a scholarship deal before signing a professional contract once he turns 17 in November.
Bielsa eyes QPR winger
Leeds have joined the race to sign QPR winger Bright Osayi-Samuel, reports Football Insider.
It is said that Leeds were keeping a close eye on Osayi-Samuel before the season was suspended, but that they are still keen to make a move for him this summer.
The 22-year-old has burst into the QPR first team this season, starting 26 championship games and netting five times with six assists.
And while QPR will be sad to see their breakthrough star leave, they may want to cash in on the youngster this summer with his contract set to expire next year.
Leeds dealt Larin blow
Leeds’ hopes of signing Besiktas striker Cycle Larin are said to be over after a deal collapsed with Belgian side Zulte Waregem.
Canadian Larin is currently on loan at Zulte Waregem and has scored nine goals in 33 appearances for the club, turning heads in Yorkshire with the Whites keen to strengthen up top.
According to Turkish journalist Safak Malatya, Zulte Waregem had been keen to activate their option to buy Larin before selling him on for a quick profit, but the financial impact that coronavirus has had on the club means they are unable to do so.
Reports from Turkey claim that Leeds were willing to spend €5m on the striker, and Bielsa must now decide whether to do business directly with Besiktas or miss out on Larin altogether.
