Leeds United transfer rumours as race for Mohamed Camara heats up

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Thursday, 30 June.

While Mohamed Camara seems destined to leave Red Bull Salzburg this summer, the Malian midfielder is reportedly more likely to join Brighton & Hove Albion than Leeds United. The Athletic report the 22-year-old is closer to joining Graham Potter and the Seagulls over Leeds, which would be a bitter blow to the Whites transfer plans.

Both sides need to replace talismanic midfielders this summer. Brighton lost Yves Bissouma to Tottenham Hotspur while Kalvin Phillips will join Manchester City in the coming days.

Missing out on Camara would be a set back, especially with him set to potentially join another Premier League side. Leeds are said to view the Salzburg midfielder as someone who could serve as a direct replacement for Phillips.

With Raphinha set to depart Elland Road this summer, Leeds United must sign a direct replacement for the Brazilian winger.

One of the names they have been linked with during the transfer window is PSV Eindhoven winger Cody Gakpo, who is one of the hottest names in European football.

Voetbal International journalist Marco Timmer reports Gakpo's agent has spoken to Leeds officials alongside a host of clubs, with the winger said to be keen on taking "a route a la Wijnaldum" to the Premier League.

The Wijnaldum route would refer to Gini Wijnaldum, who joined Newcastle United back in the summer of 2015.

Wijnaldum impressed in his first campaign in the Premier League and managed to earn a move to Liverpool the following season after Newcastle were relegated.

Alongside their interest in Cody Gakpo, Leeds United are said to be just one of the clubs interested in PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke.
