Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites are linked with Chelsea's Hakim Ziyech

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Friday, 24 June.

Leeds United interested in replacing Raphinha with Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech

Leeds United would like to replace Raphinha with Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech in the event the Brazilian international leaves Elland Road this summer.

According to CBS Sports journalist Ben Jacobs, Ziyech is someone Leeds have been monitoring closely and would be keen on signing.

Speaking on The Football Terrace 'Done Deal Show', Jacobs said (28:07): "Don’t be surprised if Chelsea advance their interest if they bring Hakim Ziyech into the equation because my understanding from talking to Leeds sources separate to Raphinha is that Ziyech, should he leave Chelsea, has been a player on their radar.

"So there might be a possibility to do some business with Raphinha coming one way and Ziyech being given to Leeds. Because Leeds don’t just want a chunk of money for Raphinha to the tune of £55 or £60 million potentially, they would love to have a ready-made replacement.

"And they see Ziyech as a viable option and that would remain the case even if Raphinha goes elsewhere."

Football transfer expert reports Leeds interest in top young Belgian attacker

Leeds United have been linked with one of Europe's hottest prospects in Club Brugge attacker Charles De Ketelaere.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports the Whites are monitoring the Belgian international who bagged 19 goals in all competitions for Brugge last season.

While the 21-year-old is not expected to come cheap, and has been subject to plenty of extra interest from across Europe, Leeds could be flush with cash soon if either Kalvin Phillips or Raphinha are sold.

De Ketelaere is a versatile forward, capable of playing up front or off a lone striker.

Additionally, Romano also reported Leeds are keen on PSV winger Cody Gakpo, although that interest is yet to have been acted upon.
