Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites are linked with Sevilla's Yassine Bounou

Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours on Sunday 25 September.

Leeds United linked with Sevilla shot stopper Yassine Bounou

Leeds United are reportedly keeping tabs on Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.

The 31-year-old in Sevilla's number-one keeper and has established himself as one of Spain's top shot stoppers in recent years.

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, the Moroccan international is said to be of interest to both Leeds and West Ham United.

Bounou is under contract with Sevilla until 2025 and it is unclear whether or not Leeds would make a move for the keeper in the January transfer window.

Illan Meslier is the undisputed number one at Elland Road, but is likely to attract plenty of interest from other clubs in the coming seasons.

Leeds will almost certainly have to ensure they have a contingency plan in the event the French keeper does move on.

'It makes sense to tie him down' Sky Sports reporter gives Jack Harrison verdict

Sky Sports reporter Tim Thornton reckons it makes sense for Leeds United to tie star winger Jack Harrison down to a new deal at Elland Road.

Harrison was subject to intense interest from Newcastle United but Leeds held firm and kept ahold of one of their key players.

A new deal, which has been mooted in recent weeks, would see rumours around Harrison's future put to rest, at least in the short-term.

And it's one Thornton believes should happen, given Harrison's improvement while at the club.

"I think he’s improved a lot since he’s been at Leeds," Thornton told GIVEMESPORT.

"So I don’t think there’s any reason from his point of view to move anywhere else at the moment.

“From a Leeds perspective, the fact that he is a player that’s been sought-after, it makes sense to tie him down on a longer deal.”
