Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites boast 'good' chance of luring Mykhaylo Mudryk to Elland Road

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Wednesday, October 5.

Leeds join Mudryk mix

Transfer journalist Dean Jones has claimed that Leeds boast a 'good' chance of luring Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk to Elland Road.

The 21-year-old was watched by a number of Premier League scouts, including representatives from Leeds, during Ukraine's 3-0 defeat against Scotland in Glasgow in September.

Shakhtar rejected a £25 million summer bid from Arsenal although the Gunners have been tipped to renew their interest in January. Liverpool and Newcastle have also shown a serious interest in Mudryk but Jones is confident that Leeds can offer a 'good' place for Mudryk to establish himself in the Premier League.

"Leeds have probably got as good a chance as anyone of convincing him that it's a good place for him to land and show everybody what he's capable of in the Premier League," Jones told This is Futbol.

Jones's comments come just days after he claimed that Leeds have been scouting the Ukrainian international, who has caught the eye in the Champions League this term.

The winger has netted in back-to-back European games against RB Leipzig and Celtic respectively and also registered two assists against the former. Mudryk has posted four goals and 15 assists in just 32 appearances for the Ukrainian outfit.

Newcastle move 'tempting' for Pulisic

Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic could be 'tempted' by a move to Newcastle United, according to CBS Sports reporter Ben Jacobs. Pulisic failed to secure a departure from Chelsea in the summer despite falling down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

The Athletic reported in September that Pulisic wanted to leave Chelsea in order to gain more minutes ahead of the World Cup. Leeds and Newcastle have been linked with the United States international, but Jacobs has claimed that a move to St James' Park will be his most likely destination if the right offer comes in.

Jacobs told GiveMeSport: "If Newcastle made the right offer, that could be very tempting to Pulisic. But he's one of the player that the World Cup is really going to influence now because he's stuck at Chelsea until the World Cup."

Pulisic has featured in each of Chelsea's seven Premier League games this term but has started just once (a 2-1 win against West Ham in September). The 24-year-old has amassed 124 appearances for the Blues, scoring 25 and contributing 20 assists across all competitions.
