Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Jordan Lukaku bid, Julian Draxler update, double deal

We’re now just days away from Leeds United’s first Premier League game in 16 years, as the Whites prepare to take on the league champions.

Liverpool is the destination for Marcelo Bielsa and his squad, as they prepare for life back in the top-flight after such a lengthy period out.

To prepare for the upcoming season, Bielsa and the Leeds hierarchy have been busy trying to get any additional players they can before the campaign begins.

With that being said, here are the very latest transfer rumours on Leeds with just one day until the new season starts.

Lukaku bid submitted

Il Messaggero claim that both Leeds and Brighton have submitted bids for Jordan Lukaku.

Lazio are set to sell the left-sided player this summer, who impressed in the final months of last season.

Yet injuries have prevented him from being a regular player at the Italian capital.

Both the Whites and the Seagulls are said to have offered €5m for his services.

Double deal expected

Leeds United are confident of adding defender Josko Gvardiol to the imminent signing of forward Crysencio Summerville in the coming days.

A Leeds source has told Football Insider that the club are hopeful of also finalising the pursuit of the pair.

The report claims that Marcelo Bielsa has earmarked Gvardiol to provide cover and competition at centre-back as well as an option to fill in at left-back.

Draxler update

Not strictly Leeds related, this, but one to keep an eye on.

TeamTalk report that Arsenal have seen a proposed swap deal to bring Houssem Aouar to the Emirates from Lyon turned down.

It's relevant to Leeds because the Gunners were offering Matteo Guendouzi as part of the deal.

PSG are said to be eyeing a potential move for Guendouzi as an attempt to get Julian Draxler out of the club in a swap deal themselves.
