Leeds United transfer rumours as in-demand Whites star 'unlikely' to join Premier League rivals

Here is your latest round-up of Leeds United transfer rumours from across the web on Friday, May 12.

Meslier 'unlikely' to join Tottenham this summer

Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier's challenging campaign appears to have cooled interest from one of his rumoured summer suitors, according to a report in the Athletic.

The Frenchman, who was dropped by Sam Allardyce for Saturday's defeat at Manchester City, had been the subject of speculation from a number of sides in recent months, but it would seem that Tottenham Hotspur are losing interest in the 23-year-old.

The above report clams that a 'difficult campaign' for the France U21s stopper makes a move 'less likely' as the club look at young targets to replace Hugo Lloris, who is mulling over a big-money offer from Saudi Arabia.

Managerial target close to signing new deal

Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola was one of Leeds United's top targets to replace Jesse Marsch when the club swung the axe on the American back in February, only for the Spanish side to dig their heels in and leave the club looking at other alternatives.

Leeds may well be looking for a new boss in the summer - whatever division they find themselves in - but it would appear that the 40-year-old is unlikely to be interested in a move to these shores, with Spanish outlet AS reporting that there is optimism at Rayo that he will extend his contract with the La Liga side shortly.

Iraola played under Marcelo Bielsa at Athletic Bilbao and has steered Rayo into an impressive ninth place in the league.
