Leeds United move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo 'gathers pace'

Leeds United have reportedly agreed the 'intricacies' of the deal for Paris Saint-Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to Ignazio Genuardi.

The report states that it is now up to the 20-year-old to agree personal terms with the Whites. The deal for Kalimuendo will come to just over €20m, with a potential €3m in add-ons taking the total fee to €20.5m. The French club have also agreed a sell-on fee percentage.

According to L'Equipe, Inter Milan are interested in signing Kalimuendo, but unlike Leeds, the Italian club aren't in advanced negotiations. Newcastle have also been linked with a move for the forward.

Kalimuendo impressed on loan in Ligue 1 last season at RC Lens, with the Frenchman scoring 12 goals in 32 league appearances. He has been capped 12 times by France Under-21s.

Leeds are looking to recruit a striker this summer, and Kalimuendo's name has been increasingly mentioned over the last few weeks. The Whites have also been linked with moves for Club Brugge's Charles de Ketelaere and Blackburn striker Ben Brereton Diaz.

Jesse Marsch currently has Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo Moreno, Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood available to him at the top end of the pitch.
