Leeds United transfer 'not a priority' for Paris Saint-Germain striker Arnaud Kalimuendo

A move to Leeds United is 'not a priority' for Paris Saint-Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to reports.

L'Equipe have reported that Kalimuendo would rather stay at PSG, while fellow Ligue 1 clubs Rennes and Nice are interested in the player. The forward has impressed new PSG head coach Christophe Galtier during the club's pre-season, and he is keen to stay at the Parc des Princes and fight for his place in the first-team.

Leeds have been linked with the 20-year-old this summer, as the club look to bolster their options at the top end of the pitch. L'Equipe have also reported that the Whites have submitted bids of over €20 million for Kalimuendo, but a move to Elland Road is not a priority for the player.

Kalimuendo, a PSG academy product, impressed on loan at RC Lens last season, scoring 12 goals in Ligue 1. Newcastle United have also been linked with the France under-21s international.

Galtier has been coy when questioned on Kalimuendo's future, praising the forward's performances, but also admitting that selling him could be a possibility.

He said: “Kalimuendo’s future? I’m more than happy with him, he’s doing great but then… there’s the market. We’ll see the club and player’s decision."

Leeds have been linked with a host of strikers this summer, but Kalimuendo has emerged as a top target. The likes of Charles De Ketelaere, Martin Terrier and Ben Brereton Diaz have all been linked.
