Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Edinson Cavani latest, two strikers targeted

Leeds United are counting down the days until their Premier League return, with just six weeks to go until top-flight football finally returns to Elland Road.

Marcelo Bielsa's side have excelled in the past two seasons but the Premier League provides a different challenge, which means that new signings are certain to occur.

A host of names have already been linked with a move to join the Whites in the current transfer window, with it clear that there is money to spend.

Here, we have gathered some of the latest snippets surrounding Bielsa's side.

Edinson Cavani latest

Edinson Cavani's hefty wage demands are of concern to Leeds United amid speculation they could move for the experienced striker, Bleacher Report states.

The Uruguay international is available on a free transfer following the expiration of his deal with Paris Saint-Germain and is looking for a new club.

Leeds are among the sides being linked with a move for the former Napoli star, a deal that would represent a significant coup for the Whites.

However, Cavani's wage demands could thwart the dreams of Leeds fans seeing a player of Cavani's calibre leading the line next season.

Ex-Real Madrid striker targeted

Leeds United are considering a move for former Real Madrid striker Raul de Tomas ahead of their Premier League return, Spanish outlet AS states.

The 25-year-old only moved to Espanyol in the January transfer window for a fee of £20.5m but the Catalan side may need to cash in following their relegation from La Liga.

With de Tomas tied down until 2026, it increases the financial burden on Espanyol and an exit for the forward that netted four goals in 14 league appearances is expected to take place.

Rising through the youth ranks with Real Madrid, he spent five years on the books with the senior squad but failed to make a single appearance in the league for Los Blancos.

Emmanuel Dennis negotiations

Leeds United are 'in negotiations' to sign 22-year-old Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis, according to reports from Nigeria via Sport Witness.

Reported interest from the Whites was first raised on Friday from French media, with Inter Milan said to be rivalling Marcelo Bielsa's side for his services.

The latest report makes it clear that this isn't the first time Dennis has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with it previously stated Brighton and Sheffield United were both eyeing a move.

Borussia Dortmund, AS Monaco and Sampdoria have also been linked, although there’s no update on interest from any of those clubs, while Arsenal and Atalanta have also been linked.
