Leeds United transfer news: Whites bid for midfielder expected as Mikkel Damsgaard race intensifies

The summer transfer window closes in just over two weeks' time and the Leeds United and Premier League rumour mill continues in full swing.

The opportunity to bring in new recruits will be gone after the 11pm deadline on Tuesday, August 31.

United's second season back in the Premier League began with a 5-1 defeat against arch rivals Manchester United in Saturday's clash at Old Trafford.

"It was very difficult for us to recover the ball and it was very difficult for us to create any danger," said Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

"It was for a number of reasons, none of them the high press or the individual performance of a player."

Leeds are back in action next weekend at home to Everton and here is the latest Leeds United and Premier League transfer gossip.
