Leeds United transfer rumours: Arsenal deal Whites blow, Ryan Kent latest, £31m demand

Leeds United have added to their squad with the signings of Rodrigo and Robin Koch but the deals are unlikely to stop there.

The Whites are preparing for their return to the Premier League and have been busy in the summer transfer window.

Marcelo Bielsa has done a good job of improving his squad but more is to come.

In light of this, here is the latest transfer rumours round-up on Leeds.

Leeds pull out of Arsenal defender race

Leeds United have pulled the plug on their pursuit of Rob Holding, according to Football Insider.

Premier League new season in numbers

The Whites had been linked with a move for the Arsenal defender during the summer transfer window.

Now it has been reported that Leeds have given up on signing the 24-year-old centre-back.

Fresh Kent bid tipped

Leeds United have been tipped to make another bid for Ryan Kent of Rangers.

The Whites have been frustrated in their pursuit of Kent but now Phillips insists that the Whites will not give up hope.

Phillips has suggested that Leeds will make a new bid of £15 million.

“It is a tough one,” Phillips told Football Insider. “I have been told they are going to go back with another offer. I would say £12-15 million. Perhaps that is a lot of money for someone who has been playing in the Scottish Premiership.

“It will ultimately come down to the player. What are his ambitions? He looks very, very happy up in Scotland.

“He is enjoying his football and has European football to look forward to. He is extremely comfortable there but the lure of the Premier League, sometimes, is too much to turn down. I would say between £12-15million – no more than that for me.”

Rodrigo De Paul demand

Leeds United are interested in Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul, according to The Guardian.

The 26-year-old has impressed of late in Italy and has attracted interest aplenty.

Leeds have joined the list of teams trying to sign the playmaker but have been told a transfer would cost £31million.
