Said Benrahma battle

Aston Villa are also linked with Benrahma, who worked alongside Lions boss Dean Smith at the Bees.

Hayden Roberts targeted

Leeds United are eyeing a move for Brighton prospect Hayden Roberts, reports from the Athletic state.

The Whites are in the hunt for defensive reinforcements ahead of their return to the Premier League, having seen Ben White return to the Seagulls.

Whilst Marcelo Bielsa's preferred choice would be to sign White permanently but Roberts is seemingly an alternative.

Silva interest 'confirmed' by agent

Leeds United's interest in signing Leganes defender Jonathan Silva has been 'confirmed' by the player's agent, AS states.

The two time Argentian international is believed to cost around the £3 million region, with the 26-year-old touted for a move to Elland Road.

Leganes' relegation from La Liga has increased the likelihood of an exit this summer and Silva joins the long line of Argentine players being linked with a move to join Marcelo Bielsa's side.
