As a result, MOT Leeds News has rounded up all of the latest gossip from the last 48 hours.
FC Lorient make contact for Illan Meslier
Illan Meslier looks all but set to leave Leeds United this summer.
The goalkeeper has fallen out of favour at the Yorkshire club after a string of poor performances.
As a result, Leeds are willing to let Meslier go for between £5-6million this summer.
Now, FC Lorient have made contact with Leeds over Meslier, looking to discuss the possible conditions of a transfer.
James Justin picks up knock amid Leeds interest
On the incomings front, Leeds are looking to sign James Justin.
The Leicester star has been one of their key players in recent years, and now, Farke wants to add him to his squad.
| Competition | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Minutes played |
| Premier League | 36 | 2 | 2 | 2921 |
Reports have suggested that an agreement is close between Leeds and Leicester for Justin. However, a late twist has emerged.
The Foxes star was forced off in Leicester’s defeat to Preston with an injury. Now, if this proves to be serious, Justin’s move to Leeds could collapse.
Crystal Palace look to sign Bilal El Khannouss move
Another player who has been heavily linked to Leeds is Bilal El Khannouss.
The Leicester star was one of the Foxes’ better performers last season and could now leave the East Midlands club despite signing just 12 months back.
However, Leeds may now miss out on El Khannouss, with Crystal Palace emerging as front-runners.
The London club have already seen a £20m bid rejected, with Oliver Glasner keen to replace the seemingly outgoing Eberechi Eze.
Palace are planning to complete the move for El Khannouss in the coming days, with the player green lighting the move.
