Leeds United transfer rumours as Everton 'ask' about Dan James and latest on Hwang and Brereton Diaz

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Tuesday, August 30.

Everton 'ask' about James

Everton have reportedly joined Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Leeds winger Dan James. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Toffees have asked about the Welshman's availability.

It comes after Spurs discussed a possible loan-to-buy deal with Leeds for James last week. According to Romano, Tottenham's deal for the 24-year-old would not be an easy deal to complete.

The report states that the situation remains 'open' and that the decision is ultimately up to the player. However, Leeds would be 'happy' to retain the man they signed from Manchester United last summer.

Hwang Hee-chan update

Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan has been linked with a move to Leeds this summer. According to The Athletic's Phil Hay, Jesse Marsch would work with Hwang again, but 'not at any price'.

Marsch worked with the South Korea international at both Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. It remains to be seen whether Leeds add a striker to their squad before Thursday's deadline, but Hwang's name has been mentioned after the Whites missed out on the likes of Charles De Ketelaere and Arnaud Kalimuendo earlier in the window.

The 26-year-old started Wolves' game against Leeds on the opening day of the season, providing the assist for Daniel Podence's opening goal.

Brereton Diaz to leave Blackburn

Leeds-linked striker Ben Brereton Diaz is set to leave Blackburn Rovers before Thursday's deadline, according to reports.

The Chile international has been linked with a move to Elland Road this summer, but the likes of Everton and Newcastle United are understood to be keeping tabs on the forward. The Toffees are reportedly leading the race to sign Brereton Diaz.

The striker scored 22 goals in the Championship last season, and he has scored twice in six games so far this term.
