Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Attacking ace tipped to seal exit, Rodrigo De Paul latest

Leeds United have the chance to bounce back from two successive defeats, as they return to Premier League action next Sunday against Arsenal.

The Whites have been beaten in back-to-back games against Leicester City and Crystal Palace, but will be determined to rediscover some of their early-season form against the Gunners next weekend.

Marcelo Bielsa may be tempted to give his squad the best chance of a solid finish in their first season back in the top-flight when the January window opens soon.

With that said, here are the latest Leeds-related transfer stories.

Mills tips Roberts to move in January

Why Raphinha is ready to make an impact

Former Leeds defender Danny Mills has tipped Tyler Roberts to secure a loan move away from Elland Road in January.

Roberts is yet to feature for over 60 minutes in a Premier League match this season - starting just two matches for the Whites.

Speaking to Football Insider, Mills said: "If you're coming on for half-an-hour, half a game, you can always have a fabulous cameo and people go, 'oh, that's decent', but you need to see what he's like for 90 minutes, 10 games in a row.

"You do start to wonder, coming towards the transfer window, that isn't too far away, that he might go out on loan and he's more than likely to play week-in, week-out."

Whelan urges De Paul signing

Following Leeds' summer interest in Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, Noel Whelan has urged the Yorkshire-based club to go out and sign the talented Argentine.

It was reported in the summer that a bid of £23million for De Paul was rejected by the Serie A side.

Speaking to Football Insider, via Give Me Sport, Whelan said: "I think we need strength in that central area. I've seen him play a number of times, very aggressive, very creative as well, looks after the ball and recycles it very well amongst the side.

"He's very experienced, he's a bit more of a creative player that we've got in the midfield so far."

Buendia reveals key moment in staying at Norwich

Emi Buendia was a reported target for Leeds over the summer, and now the Norwich City star has revealed a key moment in why he stayed at Carrow Road.

Buendia enjoyed an impressive season - on a personal note - in the Premier League last campaign, with the Canaries being relegated back to the Championship.

Speaking to the Eastern Daily Press, the Argentine said: "For the Bournemouth game, it wasn't a very good week for me. I was a bit annoyed with my situation about everything.

"The boss decided that I couldn't play that game because he always picks the best option for the team. I understood and I talked to him. I'm really happy with that meeting with him because I learned a lot about my situation.

"After that, I changed my mind, I trained more in each training session and the situation changed and I could be back in the team for the next game."
