Leeds transfer news: Marsch pushing hard for Bruges striker and keen on Stoke defender

Leeds have been extremely busy this summer and they have already signed six players and said goodbye to two of their biggest stars.

Raphinha is joining Barcelona for an initial £49million after Kalvin Phillips joined Manchester City for £45million and boss Jesse Marsch is using these proceeds to overhaul his squad. In have come Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Darko Gyabi and Luis Sinisterra for over £90million.

Leeds are not finished yet and they want a top striker - with Bruges' Charles De Ketelaere and Paris St Germain's Arnaud Kalimuendo top of their hitlist.

Mirror Sport has the latest Leeds transfer news, including updates on their striker search and Kiko Casilla.

Leeds focus on striker search next

MOTLeedsNews carry a tweet from The Athletic's Phil Hay claiming Leeds want either Bruges' Charles De Ketelaere or Paris St Germain's Arnaud Kalimuendo.

Leeds are pushing hard for De Ketelaere and are prepared to pay £31.6million to make him their record signing and meet his personal terms.

But the Belgium international would prefer a move to AC Milan and the Italian champions are edging towards meeting Bruges' asking price.

Leeds have identified Kalimuendo, who scored 13 goals on loan for Lens last season, as an alternative and he is available for around £21million from PSG.

Kiko Casilla wanted by Granada

The Football Transfer Tavern claims reports in Spain say Leeds outcast Kiko Casilla is wanted by Granada.

Casilla lost the No 1 spot to Illan Meslier following his ban for racist comments in 2020 and spent last season on loan at Elche.

Leeds are keen to get the former Real Madrid stopper off their wage bill and reports in Spain claim Spanish second tier outfit Granada are interested in him.

Leeds may be prepared to pay up £40,000-a-week deal a year early to help Casilla find a new club.

Leeds keen on highly-rated Stoke defender

HITC claim Leeds are prepared to rival Rangers for Stoke's coveted left-back Josh Tymon.

Leeds need strengthening in that department after Junior Firpo was ruled out injured for eight weeks to join Stuart Dallas on the sidelines.

Rangers are interested in Tymon and now Leeds are reportedly keen on the former Hull City academy graduate.

Stoke would be loathe to lose Tymon as they aim for promotion next season and would want more than the £5million being quoted for the left-back.
