Leeds United transfer rumours as deal 'done' while Arsenal and Liverpool want Whites linked star

Leeds United have one transfer done so far this summer with Tyler Roberts signing a new three-year contract, now the club are pushing ahead with their external recruitment.

That means a glut of transfer links are likely to arise, many of which with be nothing more than a rumour - but somewhere in the middle there is likely to be some truth to one or two names.

LeedsLive have compiled the latest transfer rumours from around the footballing world concerning Leeds United's activity this summer.

Here we take a look at one possible deal that may be done, one that looks like it won't happen and then there's Rodrigo De Paul, because of course there is!

Leeds complete deal for goalkeeper

England Under-16s goalkeeper Darryl Ombang is set to make the short journey from Bradford City to Leeds United according to Football Insider.

The report says a contract offer has been accepted and the 16-year-old will arrive on an initial scholarship deal which will become a three-and-a-half full-time contract when he turns 17.

Ombang is very highly thought of in the England set-up and has been classed as one of the best young keepers in England, with the move one that offeres plenty of excitement about the future.

The Yorkshireman's ascent through the ranks has been rapid, with appearances for the Bradford Under-18s team when he was just 14-years-old.

Perraud off to France?

Leeds United have made bringing in a new left-back a priority and for weeks there had been growing speculation that man would be Brest star Romain Perraud.

The man who very much plays in a style to suit Marcelo Bielsa's side looks to be on the move this summer, with Leeds one possible destination.

However, now there are reports an unnamed club in France are leading the chase, amid other interest from Leeds' Premier League rivals Southampton.

The Saints thought they were closing in on the Leeds linked player, but now there is a growing belief the wing-back could complete a deal with the unnamed French side.

De Paul a wanted man

It's a new day and that means we're surely due a Rodrigo De Paul transfer link!

Despite the fact that Leeds United made it clear they had no interest in the player last summer, the Whites continue to be linked with the Udinese midfielder and now a fresh report by Italian site Tutto Udinese say that Leeds, Liverpool and Arsenal are in the running for his signature.

The 27-year-old is becoming a hot property, but just like last summer, don't expect to see him turn up at Elland Road ahead of the new season. Unless he's in an Arsenal kit for a game.
