Football FanCast brings you the latest Leeds United transfer round.

The latest Leeds United transfer rumours
Transfer to
Oliver Skipp: Leeds remain hopeful of bringing in Oliver Skipp this summer, despite the midfielder's apparent reluctance to downgrade. GiveMeSport reports that the Whites would like to reunite Skipp with Farke, his former manager at Norwich City, who recently brought in his team-mate Joe Rodon on a permanent deal.
However, Skipp's reluctance to travel and his domestic status at Spurs appear to be significant stumbling blocks.
Jordan Torunarigha: The Gent defender, who has been linked with Leeds for months, has said he is ready to leave this summer for the right club. Earlier reports claimed that Leeds were keen to bring the midfielder back to Elland Road, although he could be available on a free transfer next year.
External referrals
Crysencio Summerville: Dutch media are reporting that Crysencio Summerville could be on his way out of the club as Leeds continue to raise funds following their failure to gain promotion.
Paris Saint-Germain have been named as the latest suitors for the Dutchman, with the French giants thought to be in talks with the attacker over a potential move in the coming weeks.
Little Firpo: According to the Daily Mail, Leeds are “expected” to part ways with Junior Firpo this summer. The report does not elaborate on the claim, but the former Barcelona defender was linked earlier in the summer.
One of his previous clubs, Real Betis, was thought to be interested in a deal before his price was released. Whether circumstances have changed given Leeds' confirmed second-tier status remains to be seen.
Charlie Cresswell: After failing to agree personal terms, Charlie Cresswell's move to French club Toulouse has broken down. Cresswell, who was out of favor with Farke last season, looked set to leave for less than £4m, but is still a Leeds player for now.
Ilan Meslier: Leeds' No 1 goalkeeper is thought to be eyeing a move, and has been linked with Marseille over a potential summer switch. The Frenchman is thought to be “enthusiastic” about moving to the Ligue 1 outfit, and without a release clause, negotiations between the two clubs could take place.
Leeds latest transfer 2024/25
Joe Rodon remains Leeds' only arrival this summer, although they have made a lot of profit so far, especially when you consider Luis Sinisterra's permanent move to Bournemouth, which was completed after the end of the January window. Jack Harrison's move to Everton will free up huge wages, while there is still hope for the future with Darko Gyabi back on loan at Plymouth Argyle.
