Leeds United transfer rumours: €15m Erick Pulgar deal, fresh Haydon Roberts bid, Manu Kone talks

Leeds United secured their first win in the Premier League on Saturday for over a decade and a half after a thrilling 4-3 triumph against Fulham.

That result, accompanied by the performance in the defeat to Liverpool on the opening weekend, has proven that Marcelo Bielsa's side are more than capable of holding their own in the Premier League.

However, with two weeks left in the transfer window, there is still work to be done and a host of names are being linked with a move to Elland Road.

Here, we have gathered the latest snippets surrounding the Whites.

Pulgar bid prepared

Leeds United are preparing a second bid for Fiorentina's Erick Pulgar and are 'serious' with their interest, according to La Nazione via Sport Witness.

Talks between the two clubs are said to be intensifying and it's suggested a deal worth €15m could be on the cards.

The midfielder was previously regarded to be 'non-transferable' but that stance could change if a higher offer is presented.

Pulgar could be seen as an alternative to Udinese's Rodrigo de Paul, who has been courted with Leeds continuously in recent weeks

Second Roberts bid

Leeds United have lodged a second offer for Brighton defender Haydon Roberts, Football Insider reports.

Brighton reportedly rejected a six-figure offer from the Whites last week and have made it clear they are not interested in a deal.

However, Leeds are testing that stance and have tabled an £800k offer for the 18-year-old.

Roberts is in the final year of his contract with the Seagulls but they are hopeful he will pen a new deal.

Manu Kone talks

Leeds have opened talks to sign Toulouse talent Manu Kone in a potential record-breaking transfer, RMC Sport reports.

The Whites are keen on signing the 19-year-old but Toulouse are seeking around €15m (£13.75million) for Kone.

That would represent the largest ever fee received by a Ligue 2 side in the transfer market and is a lofty price for a player with 14 appearances to his name last season.

However, having reportedly tabled a large fee to Dinamo Zagreb for Josko Gvardiol, Leeds have already shown they're willing to spend.
