Leeds delivering Jesse Marsch the signing of Cody Gakpo would be a “real statement of intent”, according to journalist Pete O’Rourke. The American boss is in the process of searching for a Raphinha replacement – with the Brazilian set to leave Elland Road – and the PSV Eindhoven winger has been identified as a potential acquisition.

According to the Guardian, Chelsea are close to sealing a £55m deal for Raphinha, although Barcelona are also in the race for his signature, with the Nou Camp his number one destination.

Regardless, the wide man is expected to leave in some capacity, meaning Leeds will need to replace the 11 goals he scored in the Premier League last season.

According to Dutch outlet Dagblad, the Yorkshire giants are keen on bringing Gakpo to English football as they prepare for life after Raphinha.
