Leeds United transfer rumours: Whites dealt Rob Holding blow, West Ham chase attacker

Leeds United are back in the big time and that has led to transfer speculation aplenty.

The Whites are making plenty of moves in the summer transfer window, with Rodrigo Moreno confirmed in a club-record deal earlier today.

But the signings will likely not end there as the rumour mill continues to thrive, with Robin Koch also close to completing his move from Freiburg.

With more business to be done, here is the latest Leeds United transfer round-up.

Rob Holding blow

Rob Holding looks to be on his way out of the Emirates Stadium on a temporary basis.

Reports from the Newcastle Chronicle claim Newcastle United are closing in on a season-long loan deal, with Gabriel set to sign for the Gunners imminently.

Leeds United have been previously linked with Holding but it's the Magpies that lead the race for the 24-year-old.

Holding has yet to recapture his best form for Arsenal since suffering a serious knee injury.

West Ham join Matviyenko race

West Ham United have joined the race for defender Mykola Matviyenko.

According to the Express, the Hammers are now eyeing the Ukraine international as they look to sure up their back-line.

Leeds are said to be keen on Matviyenko, particularly as he can play centre-back or left-back.

But it seems the race will now intensify with West Ham entering the fray, while Wolves and Everton are also said to be interested.

Leeds next targets

Leeds United will target two more additions after completing the signing of Koch.

The Whites are still looking to add an attacking playmaker to their ranks, as well as another defender.

That's according to The Athletic, who claim Marcelo Bielsa if softening to the idea of adding a third centre-back to his ranks, alongside Koch and Liam Cooper.
