Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites linked to Barcelona man, reported summer target profiled

Here is a round-up of the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Friday, 11 February.

Barca man linked

Leeds United are reportedly among a host of clubs interested in signing Barcelona midfielder Riqui Puig.

That is according to Spanish outlet Fichajes, who claim that AC Milan, as well as three La Liga sides are keen on a summer move for the 22-year-old.

Puig has made just one league start for Barcelona so far this season, as he finds himself behind Sergio Busquets, Pedri, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Nico in the pecking order.

The Whites are likely to be in for at least one new midfielder in the summer, with Brenden Aaronson also a target.

Spence links

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Middlesbrough right back Djed Spence in the summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Spence is currently spending the season on loan at Nottingham Forest, where he has produced a string of superb performances.

The 21-year-old has been particularly impressive in Forest’s excellent FA Cup run, where he netted the final goal in their emphatic 4-1 win over Leicester City.

His relentless nature up and down the right flank for Forest is what has earmarked him as a target for a potential Premier League move, with Spurs and Arsenal also keen.

Transfer message

Leeds United supporters have sent Victor Orta a resounding summer transfer message in our latest survey.

The Whites failed to make any new additions to their squad in last month’s January window, with RB Salzburg midfielder Brenden Aaronson their one and only target.

Should Leeds secure their status in the Premier League beyond this season, though, the summer transfer window is likely to be crucial if they are to push on beyond the bottom reaches of the table.

Midfield has been a position Leeds have needed to strengthen ever since they secured promotion in July 2020, however it is a different area of the field that fans think need prioritising.
