Here are your Leeds United evening headlines for Saturday, July 24. It is not just Charles De Ketelaere that Leeds are battling the Serie A champions for in this summer window, with Milan stepping up their interest in Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech, who has reportedly also been on Jesse Marsch’s radar in this window.
According to CalcioMercato , the Italian champions are hopeful of signing Ziyech after reviving talks with the Moroccon attacker just days after Milan reportedly agreed a £30m deal to sign De Ketelaere, a player Leeds have been chasing for weeks and at one point looked very close to bringing to Elland Road.
After signing Luis Sinisterra, Marsch is looking for a second winger to replace Raphinha but will face an uphill battle to capture Ziyech.
Leeds United remain hopeful that they can sign De Ketelaere despite AC Milan’s insistence that they are closing in on a deal.
