Leeds United's dream Premier League line-up as Manchester United decision provides boost

Here is your Leeds United morning digest for Thursday, August 20.

Leeds United's dream line-up

Leeds United are pushing to bolster their side ahead of their return to the Premier League, with a number of transfers being lined-up for the start of the new season.

Marcelo Bielsa has a number of areas that he is looking to improve before the start of the season on September 12, including in central defence and in attack.

So far, the majority of the signings have been ones for the future but that could change - and we've taken a look at how a dream line-up could look.

It does, of course, include Ben White but Brighton's stance is firm, so Freiburg's Robin Koch is a solid alternative that is being targeted.

Manchester United decision provides boost

Manchester United could be set to hand Leeds United a boost in their pursuit of Sergio Romero, as the Whites are believed to be keen on a new goalkeeper this summer and have been linked with various targets at other clubs.

One player that has been mooted is United’s Romero, who could leave Old Trafford this summer in search of first-team football.

The Argentine is commonly ranked as one of the best back-up options in the Premier League, but Dean Henderson's impressive form on loan at Sheffield United could well push him further down the order behind David De Gea.

The Manchester Evening New s is reporting that discussions over a renewal for Henderson are ongoing amid interest from Chelsea, who are prepared to offer the 23-year-old on a £170,000-a-week deal.

Third Ben White offer

Leeds United have made a third bid for Brighton defender Ben White as they look to bring their former loanee back to Elland Road, Sky Sports have stated in their live blog (19:07)

The Seagulls have made it clear that they will not allow the 22-year-old to leave the club this summer but Marcelo Bielsa's side are not ending their pursuit.

According to the report, the latest offer for White tabled from Leeds is worth £25m and it remains to be seen whether that will change Brighton's stance.
