The latest Leeds United transfer news and rumours as the January transfer window approaches.
A transfer window would not be complete unless Leeds United were linked with Ryan Kent. So here we are, three weeks before the January transfer window opens, and once again, our good friend Ryan Kent is being linked with a move to Elland Road.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to Leeds in each of the last five transfer windows, and news broke a few days ago that Leeds were being tipped to secure a loan deal for the ex-Liverpool man. That story has progressed in recent days, with Kent’s time at Fenerbahce now appearing to have come to an end.
After failing to make an impression in Turkey, the club appears ready to cut all ties with the player, and he appears content to return home as well. Nottingham Forest are also said to be interested in him, with Leeds having two loan slots in their current squad that would allow them to secure a deal until the end of the season.
Burnley enters the race for Leeds target
Burnley have reportedly joined Leeds United and Leicester City in the race to sign Sunderland defender Trai Hume, which was already billed as a tasty battle between two promotion hopefuls. The 21-year-old has only been at the Stadium of Light for a little over two years, but he’s already being talked about as a potential Premier League player, with Championship promotion hopefuls joining top flight clubs in their pursuit of the young Northern Ireland international.
Hume has been an ever-present for Sunderland this season, claiming the right back position for himself, and the Black Cats are keen to keep him. However, Tony Mowbray’s dismissal has created some uncertainty, and clubs believe they can take full advantage and pounce in January with a very good addition at the right price.
