Leeds United transfer rumours as Charles De Ketelaere re-emerge after AC Milan struggles

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Monday, April 10.

Leeds ready to revisit Charles De Ketelaere interest after AC Milan struggles

Leeds could revive their interest in AC Milan forward Charles De Ketelaere in the summer, according to a report from TEAMtalk.

De Ketelaere was involved in a transfer tug-of-war with Leeds and AC Milan last summer. The saga lasted several weeks, with Leeds offering more than AC Milan, but the player preferring a move to the San Siro.

As a result, AC Milan coughed up £29 million to prise him from Club Brugge, and tied him down to a five-year deal. But De Ketelaere has not yet fulfilled his potential in Milan, and has struggled for both minutes and form.

There are also fears that his recent struggles could impact his international career with Belgium, which has prompted reports that he could be looking for an escape route.

The 21-year-old has failed to find the net in 33 games across all competitions in his debut season, but has only amassed 1,254 minutes of action.

Ex-Leeds man linked with Premier League return

Crystal Palace are reportedly considering former Leeds winger Jack Clarke as a replacement for Wilfried Zaha at Selhurst Park.

That is according to The Sun, who claim Clarke has been watched by Palace representatives in recent weeks. Clarke started his career at Elland Road and earned a move to Tottenham Hotspur in 2019 following his impressive breakthrough season.

However, he was unable to establish himself at Spurs, and embarked on a series of loan spells at Leeds, Queens Park Rangers, Stoke City and Sunderland.

He subsequently joined the Black Cats on a permanent basis at the starting of the season, and has scored 10 goals in all competitions.

Clarke has also registered nine assists in total this term, and is being touted as a possible replacement for Zaha, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
