Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani claims Bamba Dieng's proposed Elland Road transfer is 'part of the madness of deadline day.' The Whites owner tweeted that a move for the French forward was done with the club still working on a move for Cody Gakpo.
However, OGC Nice are now the favourites to sign Dieng, after the Ligue 1 side made a late approach. The 22-year-old was at the airport ahead of a move to Elland Road but has now changed his mind.
Leeds have not hidden their desire to bolster their attacking options, despite doing a lot of early transfer business. The club had been hoping to bring in a striker but now only have a few hours to bolster their ranks.
