Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites 'more intense' than German clubs in landing 25-goal striker

Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours for Friday, November 11.

Leeds United 'more intense' than German clubs in landing 25-goal striker

Leeds United are preparing to beat out two German clubs for Austin FC striker Sebastian Driussi in the January transfer window as they look for more goals to lift them up the Premier League table.

Although their incredible youth talent have lifted them up in the past two weeks - where they've found back-to-back wins over Liverpool and Bournemouth -, they're looking at Driussi who has a serious goal record in the MLS.

In his last 38 games for Austin FC, he's found the back of the net 25 times - the same amount of goals he found for Zenit in Russia but in 100 less games.

After being something of a wonderkid in Argentina with River Plate, he hit 20 goals in his final season with them where he attracted European attention in 2017 before moving to Zenit.

Taking to social media, Argentinian journalist Cesar Luis Merlo says Leeds hold a 'firm interest' in the striker but highlights that they may find competition in the form of two other European clubs.

On Twitter, he posted: "Leeds United has a firm interest in hiring Sebastián Driussi, who had a great season at Austin FC. "In addition, there are two German clubs that have probed him but with less intensity."

Leeds United preparing new bid for Championship star

Leeds United are preparing to send a new bid to Birmingham City for young midfielder George Hall after their reported bid of £3 million was rejected.

According to Football Insider, the Whites have continued to monitor the 18-year-old's progress as he continues to impress in a good Blues side this season.

They currently sit 10th in the Championship with just eight points between them and 2nd-placed Blackburn Rovers, with Hall making 15 appearances this season.

However, it's reported that he's been disappointed with his game time after being promised a more-integral role in the team having only started five games this season.
