Keen on Kean

Reports on the continent are suggesting that Leeds United are in the race to sign Moise Kean from Juventus on loan. The striker, who could make his full Italy debut against the United States tonight, has long been linked with a move to Elland Road.

Sport.es is reporting that his agent Mino Raiola has offers from Leeds, along with Galatasaray and Marseille.

Kean was linked with Leeds in January, at a time his famous agent declared him worth £65 million.

Heaton odds

The odds on Tom Heaton heading to Leeds United in January are tumbling. Leeds have been linked with the Burnley and England stopper following the leg break suffered by previous second choice Jamal Blackman.

Heaton is currently in a battle for first-team football at Turf Moor with fellow England internationals Joe Hart and Nick Pope.

The odds on him moving to Leeds are now as low as 3/1 with some bookmakers, as reported by The Sun.

Gomez update

AS is reporting that Leeds United target Ibai Gomez will be sold in January if he decides he does not want to sign a new deal.

The report claims the Basque club are hopeful of signing Marcos Llorente from Real Madrid, a move which would prove ambition and see Gomez sign a new deal.

If that does not happen, the club will not risk losing him for free. Leeds would be in the queue of interested clubs, along with Athletic Bilbao, Real Sociedad, Eibar and Celta Vigo.
