It appears that Leeds United’s focus is on bringing Arnaud Kalimuendo to Elland Road, with talks reportedly underway with PSG over a transfer.

Leeds are looking to get a striker on the books, coinciding that arrival with Raphinha’s move to Barcelona.

Jesse Marsch’s squad still looks overly reliant on Patrick Bamford and Leeds look to have a getable target in mind.

As per a report from 90min, Leeds are close to agreeing terms on a €25m deal for Kalimuendo at PSG, which converts to around £21m, as talks with the French club progress.

The report goes on to confirm that Leeds are confident of getting the deal done for the 21-year-old as they stretch their summer spending.

Kalimuendo has only featured for PSG a couple of times, but has had plenty of experience out on loan with Lens across the last two seasons.

The versatile forward, who can feature across the frontline, has struck 19 goals in Ligue 1, which included 12 last season in the 2021/22 campaign.
