Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites 'set to beat' six clubs to new signing and Raphinha 'rejects' Arsenal

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Tuesday, June 13.

Roca competition

Leeds United are reportedly set to beat six clubs to the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Marc Roca, according to 90min.com. The Whites are thought to be close to securing their third signing of the summer, with a deal of around £12 million on the verge of being agreed.

With Bayern open to allowing Roca to leave this summer, Wolves, West Ham, Eintracht Frankfurt, Real Betis, Villarreal and Sevilla are also said to be keen. However, it appears as though Roca is set to opt for a move to Leeds and become their third addition of the window.

Raphinha’s Arsenal choice

Leeds United winger Raphinha is reportedly set to turn down any advances from Arsenal this summer. That is according to SPORT, via TeamTalk, who claim that the Brazilian and his agent Deco will continue to hold out for Barcelona and turn down any other club who shows interest.

Barcelona have been keen on a move for Raphinha for several months now and at one stage, a deal looked like it would be completed early on in the window. But due to their ongoing financial troubles, his departure is now hanging in the balance.

Dagba interest

Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Paris Saint Germain right back Colin Dagba this summer. That is according to Foot Mercato, who claim that Leeds, along with Strasbourg, Villarreal, Frankfurt and Mainz are all also keen on the 23-year-old.

Dagba made just three league appearances for the French champions last season and looks destined to leave the club this summer. However, given that Leeds have already secured the signing of right-back Rasmus Kristensen, their interest in Dagba is dubious, with Luke Ayling and Cody Drameh also on their books.
