Jose Mourinho gave Leeds United a ‘transfer blow’ as ex-Whites coveted by relegated club

However, the team risks losing at least one or two of its key players before the August deadline, with Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, and Wilfried Gnonto all being linked with moves. Following their heartbreak at Wembley last month, the Whites may also have to sell to balance their books.

We compile the most recent Leeds United news as the transfer market picks up steam.

Leeds “dealt blow.”

Bright Osayi-Samuel is apparently someone Jose Mourinho, the new manager of Fenerbahce, is eager to hold onto this summer. Leeds United is among the teams that have been connected to a transfer for the former QPR player; news of the club’s purported interest first surfaced in March.

The Nigerian international, who has been in Istanbul with Fenerbahce for the past three and a half years, has also been linked to Wolves. Vatan, via Sport Witness, claims that Mourinho is eager to keep the full-back on staff and that the team is even lobbying for a contract renewal.

Last season, Osayi-Samuel made 39 appearances for the Turkish team, 15 of which were in the Conference League. Along the way, he tallied four goals and six assists, highlighting his attacking threat and possibly explaining Leeds‘ interest, if rumours of their admiration for the 26-year-old are true.
