Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Tuesday, August 16.
Blackburn boss gives Brereton Diaz transfer update
Blackburn Rovers boss Jon Dahl Tomasson says 'money will decide what happens' when it comes to Leeds-linked striker Ben Brereton Diaz. The Chile international was on target for Blackburn in their 2-1 win over West Brom on Sunday.
Brereton Diaz has been linked with a move to Leeds this summer, and their search for a striker could be set to accelerate with Patrick Bamford going off injured in the 2-2 draw at Southampton. Wolves have also been linked with a move for the forward who scored 22 Championship goals last season.

“Ben is a great player, he showed that (against West Brom)," Tomasson told Lancs Live.
“On the ball, incredible scoring ability, but off the ball he’s working very hard for the team and he’s doing that with a smile on his face. He’s doing a tremendous job. At the end of the day, money will decide what happens. It’s not a surprise for anyone."
Premier League rivals increase interest in striker target
Everton are set to pick up the pace in their move for Che Adams, according to The Telegraph. The striker, who has been linked with Leeds, is reportedly at the top of Frank Lampard's wanted list.
Adams started for Southampton in their draw against Leeds on Saturday, but reports suggest that the Saints are willing to sell the striker. The Scotland international was strongly linked with a move to the Whites in January 2020, but a deal never materialised.
A report in The Telegraph said: “Frank Lampard is targeting more firepower ahead of the home match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, with Southampton’s Che Adams firmly in his sights.”
