Leeds' Premier League rivals Southampton are still working on a deal to sign target Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven before tomorrow's transfer deadline, according to The Athletic.

The Dutch winger, who scored 21 goals in 46 games last season, has been previously linked to Jesse Marsch's side as well as numerous other Premier League clubs, however, it appears as though the Saints are leading the race for the 23-year-old's signature.

Fabrizio Romano says Tottenham are back in negotiations with the Whites as they look to sign Dan James.

He tweeted: "Tottenham are back in negotiations with Leeds for Daniel James. Been told talks are ongoing on loan deal with buy option — but there are also other clubs...

"#THFC Up to the player, as he’s happy @ Leeds and has to decide."
