Leeds United provide ‘competition’ in race for winger as target is linked with Newcastle United

Leeds United are back in action this weekend with a home clash against Bournemouth. The Whites go into the game on the back of their 2-1 away win against Liverpool last time out.

They are currently sat in 15th place in the Premier League table. Here is a look at some of the latest news coming out of the club...

Target latest

Charles De Ketelaere, who was a target for Leeds in the summer, is now being linked with a move to fellow top flight club Newcastle United. The Belgium international only joined AC Milan from Club Brugge in the last window. However, Voetbalkrant claim he is on the radar of the Toon Army now.

Former player update

The Whites cut ties with goalkeeper Elia Caprile in July. The stopper spent two years at Elland Road but never made a senior appearance so was given the green light to join Bari on a permanent deal. Tuttobari are now reporting that he could move on again in this winter.

Winger remains a target

Leeds reportedly remain keen on Red Bull Salzburg winger Noah Okafor. The Switzerland international, who is 22-years-old, has been a hit in the Austrian Bundesliga over recent years and has scored 33 goals in 98 games in all competitions for his current club to date and may now be looking to test himself in one of Europe’s top leagues. According to a report by CalcioMercato, the Whites provide ‘competition’ for his signature to other interested parties such as Arsenal.
