Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Ben White blow, Michy Batshuayi offered, John Swift bid

Leeds United will be playing Premier League football next season, and like most promoted sides, will be looking to bolster their options.

The Whites’ fantastic performance in the Championship means that Marcelo Bielsa will be likely to trust some of his players as they make the step up to the top-flight.

However, there have been several names linked with a move to Elland Road, as the club make their eagerly anticipated return to the Premier League.

With that being said, here are the best Leeds-related transfer rumours from today.

White blow

Chelsea are lining up a deal for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk which could hamper Leeds United's hopes of signing Ben White.

The Whites are keen to bring the defender back to Elland Road after a stellar season on loan in the Championship.

Brighton are reluctant to sell, however, and interest from Chelsea in Dunk could add further problems to Leeds' hopes of agreeing a deal, according to Football Insider.

Batshuayi offered

Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi has been offered to Leeds United in a cut-price deal, according to reports.

Belgian striker Batshuayi endured a poor season at Stamford Bridge and, with Frank Lampard keen to bring in a new striker, his future is very uncertain.

Marcelo Bielsa is looking to add to his attack this summer but it remains to be seen whether Batshuayi is viewed as a viable option by the Elland Road management.

Swift bid

Sheffield United have had a bid of £4m rejected by Reading for midfielder John Swift, according to talkSPORT.

Leeds are also keen on the Reading midfielder, who impressed in the Championship this season.

The Blades have already had a £3.5m bid turned down but are understood to be willing to return with another offer.
