Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Carvalho eyed, Longstaff move, Rose battle

Leeds United have been linked with players aplenty now that they have secured their spot back in the Premier League.

This is the time of the year when the rumour mill goes into overdrive and it's even more the case this summer.

Leeds' Championship title has opened the door for player recruitment this summer ahead of a return to the top tier.

Here is the latest round-up of gossip on the Whites.

Leeds eyeing Carvalho

Leeds United have been linked with a move for William Carvalho.

The Portugal international is likely to leave Real Betis this summer and has many potential destinations.

Leeds could be one of them, according to reports, with Tottenham and Leicester City also said to be interested.

Longstaff move

The Telegraph claim that Leeds are one of a number of clubs showing an interest in Matty Longstaff from Newcastle.

Longstaff's contract is set to expire this summer and he can leave cheaply, with just compensation required for his signature.

Yet the Whites face plenty of competition to sign the 20-year-old.

Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan and Atalanta are all said to have made contact with Longstaff, whilst Everton and Arsenal have also been linked.

Rose battle

Leeds are ready to go head-to-head in a battle with Newcastle United for the signature of Tottenham defender Danny Rose this summer.

Rose, who has spent time at Elland Road in the past, spent the second half of the 2019/20 campaign on loan with Newcastle from Spurs.

He enjoyed a successful time at St James' Park and is now being heavily linked with a permanent switch to Steve Bruce's side.

However, Leeds are ready to rival the Magpies for his signature, with Spurs unlikely to offer him as much game-time as he would probably hope for. It has now been suggested that the Londoners would be willing to let the left-back leave on a free.
