Leeds United linked with double January deal - including £35m-rated star and Spurs man

Leeds United have been linked with two January transfers by the bookies.

Marcelo Bielsa's team have enjoyed a decent start to the season, with Leeds more than holding their own in a first season back in the Premier League since 2004.

But that good start hasn’t stopped speculation circling regarding transfers ahead of the January window.

The YEP understands the Whites will only make signings in January if circumstances intervene and they have a major issue with injuries.

Indeed, Bielsa feels his squad is more than adequate.

That saying, bookmakers SkyBet are still offering odds on Leeds completing deals for two well-known Premier League stars.

The first name will be familiar to Leeds fans with Ben White currently priced at 25/1 to make a stunning Elland Road return.

The defender enjoyed a superb spell on loan as Leeds United were promoted as champions last season.

The Brighton man was the subject of intense transfer speculation during the summer, with the Whites having several bids rejected for the Englishman.

White signed fresh terms with the Seagulls at the beginning of the season, meaning any potential Leeds deal for him looks unlikely at present, especially with Liverpool's reported interest.

The 23-year-old has been valued at anything between £25m and £50m by various outlets in the past 12 months.

The second player is Tottenham and England attacking midfielder Dele Alli, who is currently out of favour with Spurs boss Jose Mourinho.

Alli, 24, is priced at 25/1 to make the move to Yorkshire before February 2, with SkyBet installing PSG (4/1), Manchester United (6/1), Liverpool (12/1), Real Madrid (12/1) ahead of the Whites.
