Leeds United transfer rumours: Josh King valuation revealed, Whites beaten to talented striker

Leeds United are preparing for their first season back in the Premier League.

The Whites are working on a new contract for Marcelo Bielsa while also attempting to strengthen their squad for the new season.

Ben White remains at the top of Leeds' agenda, but he is not the only line of enquiry.

Here are the latest transfer news and rumours surrounding Elland Road.

King valuation revealed

Leeds United will have to pay around £30m to sign Bournemouth star Josh King.

Accord to the Express, Leeds may be interested in the former Manchester United forward, but they are not alone.

West Ham United and Everton are also said to be eyeing a move.

Bournemouth will have to sell key players this summer, and they have already started to do so with Nathan Ake departing to Manchester City.

But they are not willing to offer anyone at cut-price, and that includes King, the Cherries demanding a huge sum for the Norwegian.

Kent release clause refuted

Leeds United-linked Rangers star Ryan Kent does not have a release clause in his contract.

Recent reports suggested Leeds could snatch the former Liverpool man for £10m due to a release clause in his contract.

But according to The Sun 's Alan Nixon, that is not the case, and Rangers can hold out for the number they want.

Recent reports have suggested Leeds have bid £10m, but it might just take a little more.

Leeds to be beaten to striker

Leeds United are set to be beaten to Hartlepool United youngster Luke Chapman.

According to TeamTALK, the Whites will miss out on the youngster, who has also attracted interest from Middlesbrough and Newcastle United.

Though, none of those teams will secure Chapman's signing with Sunderland said to be in prime position.

The report claims Sunderland have already offered the 17-year-old to train with them ahead of a potential move.
