And it is the clash between Whites and Foxes that is dominating the morning headlines rather than any breaking transfer news.

Leeds, however, are still being linked with a number of deals by various publications and the bookies.

Marcelo Bielsa is happy with his squad and the noises coming out of Elland Road remain that they don't expect to do any major business this transfer window.

That hasn't stopped Leeds being linked with a host of players as they continue to monitor the market, but it would take something major for them to change their stance before Monday's deadline.

Leeds have been installed as 33/1 outsiders to sign Arsenal star Ainsley Maitland-Niles but a move to Southampton for the versatile England international seems nailed out.

Another extremely unlikely Leeds transfer is Ben White, who is priced at 25/1 to rejoin his old teammates at Elland Road. White is a regular starter under Graham Potter and signed a lucrative contract extension just last summer.

Leeds are also linked with former left-back Danny Rose, who looks likely to make a move to Turkey.

In short, of the three players linked to Leeds United by SkyBet, it's safe to say that none are likely to join Bielsa at Elland Road before the transfer window slams shut.
