What the bookies think could happen at Leeds United before tonight's transfer deadline

It's transfer deadline day and time is running out for Premier League clubs to get deals done.

Clubs have until 11pm on Monday (February 1) to sign, sell or loan players as they prepare for the second half of the 2020-21 campaign.

Leeds were busy in the summer transfer window following their promotion from the Championship but that is unlikely to be the case today.

They signed the likes of Raphinha, Rodrigo, Diego Llorente and Robin Koch, while Illan Meslier and Helder Costa joined the club permanently following loans.

Meanwhile, Jack Harrison returned to Elland Road for another season-long loan spell from Manchester City.

So far in the January window, no fresh additions have been made, with just a handful of outgoings confirmed at the time of writing and that is expected to be all that happens at Elland Road today as we approach the deadline.

Will Oliver Casey be leaving Leeds United on loan today?

Jordan Stevens (Bradford City), Ryan Edmondson (Northampton Town) and Robbie Gotts (Salford City) have all gone out on loan, while Conor Shaughnessy has signed for Rochdale on a permanent basis after his Leeds contract was ended.

Meanwhile, Rafa Mujica sealed a loan move to Las Palmas on deadline day.

Bookies Sky Bet are running markets on which players will change clubs before the January transfer window closes.

Here's who Leeds are in the running for with the bookmakers.

Ben White

White enjoyed a highly successful loan spell at Elland Road last season, helping them win promotion to the top flight.

Leeds tried to sign him permanently over the summer but the defender ended up staying at parent club Brighton.

White is 9/1 to join Liverpool before the transfer deadline, with Leeds, Manchester United, Manchester City and AC Milan all listed at 33/1 shots.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles

The Arsenal man has found his first-team chances limited of late under Mikel Arteta - and could leave the Emirates Stadium on loan.

Southampton are 1/3 favourites to land the England international defender/midfielder, ahead of Leicester City (2/1), West Bromwich Albion (6/1) and Newcastle United (12/1).

Leeds are 33/1 to land Maitland-Niles, along with Manchester United, Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, West Ham, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Atletico Madrid.

Dele Alli

Another player short of first-team action, having been largely frozen out at Tottenham under Jose Mourinho.

The England attacking midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain - and a reunion with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino.

PSG are 15/8 frontrunners to land the former MK Dons man but Leeds are again named as 33/1 long shots, along with Manchester United, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Southampton, Crystal Palace and Real Madrid.

Danny Rose

Rose is another Spurs player looking for regular first-team football.

The England full-back is being tipped to join Turkish side Trabzonspor, who are 4/7 favourites to get a deal done before the deadline.

West Brom are next on the list at 8/1, followed by Sheffield United (20/1) and AC Milan (22/1).

Leeds are 25/1 to sign the Yorkshire-born defender, along with Newcastle, West Ham, Crystal Palace, Burnley, Brighton and Inter Milan, while PSG are 33/1.
