Leeds United transfer rumours: Tottenham hand Leeds Juan Foyth boost, Jonathan David update

There is just over a month to go until Leeds United play their first game back in the Premier League.

It means that time is running out for the Whites to sign players and integrate them into Marcelo Bielsa's squad in pre-season.

With that in mind, here are the latest transfer reports and stories from around Elland Road.

David closing in on Lille move

Leeds have been handed a blow in their hopes of signing Jonathan David.

The Canadian forward has been heavily sought-after this summer, with the Whites one of a host of clubs to be linked.

The Gent striker has been linked with a move to Elland Road, although that has looked increasingly unlikely recently as reports of a move to Lille have materialised.

According to Goal, that move to Ligue 1 now looks to be going ahead, ending any hopes of the Canadian international joining the Whites.

Leeds register interest in Hull man

Leeds United have registered an interest in signing Hull City's Leonardo da Silva Lopes, according to Football Insider.

The highly-rated 21-year-old midfielder is expected to leave the Tigers following their relegation to League One.

Leeds' newly-promoted rivals West Brom are also attributed with an interest in the player and the pair could go toe-to-toe to land his services.

Lopes was the subject of interest from Major League Soccer outfit New York Red Bulls, with City rejecting two bids.

Foyth up for sale as Spurs target Lille full-back

Tottenham hoping to free up some funds as they look to sign Lille defender Zeki Celik, and Leeds could play a big part in their efforts.

According to the Telegraph, Spurs are looking to offload Serge Aurier or Juan Foyth as they look to raise some cash to land Celik.

Foyth has been heavily linked with a move to Elland Road this summer, and could, therefore, Leeds could play a part in Spurs' transfer activity.

The Argentine is thought to be keen on teaming up with Marcelo Bielsa.
