Leeds transfer rumours as Whites eye Brazil striker at World Cup, Aston Villa set to sign United target

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Friday, November 25.

Pedro interest

Leeds United are reportedly set to reignite their interest in Flamengo and Brazil forward Pedro, according to Brazilian outlet Coluna Do Fla. Pedro is part of Brazil's star-studded World Cup squad, which includes ex-Leeds winger Raphinha.

The Whites were keen to sign the 25-year-old in the summer but were unable to open discussions with Flamengo. Although Leeds are still keen on Pedro, his current contract (which has an £86 million termination clause) does not expire until December 2025.

The forward has scored 61 goals in 149 appearances for Flamengo, and also finished as the leading goal scorer in Flamengo's triumphant Copa Libertadores campaign, with 12 goals in 13 games.

The 16-year-old is viewed as one of the most exciting prospects in Northern Ireland, and has been linked with Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leeds.

Brannigan impressed for Northern Ireland U16s in the Victory Shield, and has also starred for Linfield Rangers in the U18 Academy League. He is poised to follow in the footsteps of former Linfield academy graduates Callum Marshall and Trai Hume, who joined West Ham and Sunderland respectively, by moving to England.
