Leeds United transfer gossip as Crystal Palace look to complete deal for Whites-linked Ismaila Sarr

A round-up of the latest Leeds United transfer gossip on Friday, August 19 .

Crystal Palace emerge as potential landing spot for Leeds linked winger Ismaila Sarr

Crystal Palace are reportedly keen on signing Watford winger Ismaila Sarr. The Athletic report Palace have been in talks for weeks with Watford over Sarr who has been attracting interest from plenty of Premier League sides this summer.

Leeds are one of the clubs that are said to be interested in the 24-year-old, but it now looks as though Palace are in the lead to sign the Senegalese winger.

But while they have held a long standing interest in Sarr since 2020, no formal offer has been submitted to Watford for Sarr's services.

Portuguese international Raphael Guerreiro linked with move to Elland Road

Leeds United reportedly want to sign Borussia Dortmund's Raphael Guerreiro this summer.

With Junior Firpo injured, Leeds currently lack a back-up to fill in for the injured left-back. So far this season, centre-back Pascal Struijk has played Leeds' opening two Premier League games this term at left-back.

However, GIVEMESPORT's Dean Jones claims Leeds hold an interest in signing the 28-year-old defender, who would almost certainly start ahead of Firpo.

Jones said: “Raphael Guerreiro is a name I’ve heard mentioned. There are a few that they’re [Leeds United] looking at. It might be that they end up doing a loan or something from one of Europe’s bigger clubs once they know that there are people that don’t fit into the plans elsewhere.”

Adama Traore named as a 'realistic' transfer for Leeds United

90min have named Wolves winger Adama Traore as a 'realistic' transfer for Leeds United heading into the final stages of the summer transfer window.

The Spanish international has been linked on and off with a move to Elland Road this summer with his future at Wolves said to be uncertain.

Traore has a connection to Leeds director Victor Orta, who signed the now 26-year-old for Middlesbrough back in 2016.

While he can be devastating on his day, there is no guarantee Leeds would be able to get the best out of Traore on a consistent basis. However, if Wolves would be willing to accept a cut-rate price for the Spaniard, he could prove to be a fun, low risk addition to Jesse Marsch's attack.
