Everton ‘ask’ about Leeds United raid, Whites ‘remain keen’ on £20m PL striker swoop

Leeds United will be hoping to bounce back from their 1-0 defeat against Brighton at the weekend when they face Everton on Tuesday evening.

The Whites lost for the first time this season on Saturday, but come up against a Toffees side who currently sit 18th in the table, having taken just two points from their opening four matches.

But with the transfer deadline fast approaching, how are things looking in the market?

Arsenal want Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, and could make a move for the player before the transfer window closes, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Italian reporter said: “I’m told that they are asking for information on a super-talented guy playing for Shakhtar, Mudryk is his name. He was really close to joining Brentford, but then some German clubs and Juventus were interested. Now Arsenal are asking for information, let’s see if it becomes a negotiation because as of now, there is no talks club-to-club, Arsenal and Shakhtar.” (Here We Go Podcast)

Nottingham Forest are close to completing a deal for former Tottenham right-back Serge Aurier. The defender is a free agent after his contract at Villarreal expired last month. It is understood that he will sign a two-year contract at the City Ground. Forest are also in advanced talks to sign Wolves centre-back Willy Boly. (Sky Sports)

Stoke City are reportedly “taking an interest” in Newcastle United defender Federico Fernandez. The Argentine has fallen down the pecking order at St. James’ Park, and could be interested in the prospect of a loan spell as he looks to secure more first team minutes elsewhere. (Alan Nixon - Patreon)
