Here are the latest Leeds United headlines for Monday, July 4.
News broke on Monday morning that Leeds United were negotiating with Feyenoord for Colombian winger, Luis Sinisterra, as the Whites plan for life without Raphinha. The situation appears to have moved rapidly, as Dutch outlet, Voetbal International reported that a deal of over 20million Euros has been agreed for the winger, making it a record sale for the Rotterdam club.
"Feyenoord itself reported on Monday that Sinisterra was still missing from the club, because he had been given time to complete some 'personal matters'. It now appears that the Colombian is busy with a transfer to the Premier League. Leeds and Feyenoord have now agreed on the transfer conditions."
Whilst there are exciting potential incomings, the first major outgoing was completed on Monday, as Kalvin Phillips completed his move to Manchester City for a fee of £42million. The midfielder wr#ote a heartfelt message of thanks to the club which he grew up supporting, saying:
"First of all, I would like to express how much of a privilege it has been to play for this amazing club. Since making my debut at 17 it has been a journey any Leeds lad could wish for.
“When I was young, I went to see my first ever game at ER and from that moment I knew that my dream was to put on that white shirt and walk out on that pitch. I’d like to thank everyone involved at the club for making Leeds one of the best clubs on earth. Every manager I have played under for showing trust in me and teaching me all I know."
