Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Saturday, May 28.
Leeds tipped to make move for Tyler Adams
With Jesse Marsch in charge at Elland Road, plenty of American players continue to be linked with moves to the Whites. One of those is RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams who would be reunited with the Leeds boss as well as satisfying the need for reinforcements in the middle of the park if he was signed.
MLS and USMNT insider Tom Bogert was asked about whether there will be further investment in American players following Brenden Aaronson’s arrival. He said on Twitter: “Think they'll try for Adams, we'll see though. He's been in the CL [Champions League] for years with Leipzig so maybe a team in European competition will sway him.”
He remained unsure as to whether there will be any Leeds interest in Barcelona right-back Sergino Dest who has been linked in recent weeks and months.

Whites could return for out-of-favour Chelsea winger
Wide midfielders may well be high on the agenda for Leeds this summer, especially if Raphinha and/or Jack Harrison depart. Among those to have been linked is Chelsea wideman Kenedy who, despite playing on the final day of the season, isn’t understood to be in the first-team plans at Stamford Bridge.
His contract runs out in a year’s time and he could be available relatively cheap with the Blues planning a summer overhaul. According to the Daily Mail, he is still on the radar at Elland Road and his versatility down the left-hand side might be considered useful by Victor Orta and co.
Leeds-linked forward confirms Barcelona departure
As well as wingers, another striker is likely to also be on the shopping list at Elland Road as the lack of cover in attack was clear for all to see throughout the season. Back in January, Barcelona B number nine Ferran Jutgla was rumoured to be on Leeds’ radar.
The 23-year-old confirmed on Twitter on Thursday afternoon that he will be leaving the club this summer which has led to talk regarding his future. Club Brugge are said to be ready to sign him for around €7m but the Whites may too be monitoring his situation given his announcement.
