Latest Leeds United transfer rumours: Watkins tipped for move, Luis to AC Milan, Brooks deal

Leeds United continue to prepare for their first season back in the Premier League.

The club's recruitment staff are already busy chasing deals with just a six-week turnaround until the start of next season.

United are already being linked with a number of players with Marcelo Bielsa no doubt keen to strengthen ahead of the new campaign.

With that in mind, we run you through all the latest gossip and rumours below.

Leeds linked with Watkins

Leeds United are being tipped to make a move for Brentford forward Ollie Watkins.

According to the Daily Mail, Bielsa would like to add competition for Patrick Bamford and the Bees star could be an option.

But whether a move would be viable will likely depend on whether Brentford are successful in their promotion bid, Thomas Frank's men set to face Fulham in the play-off final on Tuesday.

Watkins has impressed this season, scoring 26 goals in 49 appearances.

Luis could wind up at San Siro

AC Milan are 'working on a deal' to land Leeds United-linked Benfica star Florentino Luis.

According to Corriere Della Sera, Milan are now progressing in their bid to land the 20-year-old defensive midfielder despite reports last week claiming Leeds were ahead of them in the race.

Benfica have Luis under contract until 2024, so they very much have the leverage, but after an impressive campaign, making 15 first-team league appearances, the under-20 Portugal international may well be lured away.

Though, it seems it's Milan and not Leeds who are now at the front of the queue.

Leeds to move for Brooks

Leeds United could rival Spurs for Bournemouth winger David Brooks.

Tottenham have been linked with a move for the Welsh star, who is expected to leave Bournemouth following their relegation to the Championship.

But according to Bleacher Report, Leeds could muscle in as they look to strengthen ahead of their first season back in the Premier League.

Brooks enjoyed an excellent first season with Bournemouth following his 2018 move from Sheffield United but struggled with injury last term.
