Here are the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Monday, 12 September.
Leeds-linked goalkeeper's departure
Leeds United-linked goalkeeper Rory Mahady has bid farewell to Celtic amid interest from a number of Premier League sides. According to Football Scotland in May, Leeds, Manchester City and Tottenham were among the clubs keen on bringing him to England.
While nothing was finalised over the summer, Mahady has now officially confirmed via his Instagram he has left the Scottish club after 10 years. Mahady is now free to sign a professional contract with any club of his choice, with Celtic due a compensation package from whichever club he signs for due to his age.
He said: "Today I have officially left Celtic. Just want to say a massive thank you to the players and staff for the last nine years. It was a pleasure, wishing everyone the best of luck for the future."

Dieng

The Whites were keen on landing the Senegalese forward on deadline day, with Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani seemingly confirming on Twitter the deal was done.
But a whirlwind turn of events saw Dieng opts to remain in France to sign with Nice instead. However, Dieng failed his medical with Nice, which ultimately meant he remains a Marseille player despite the transfer window interest surrounding the 22-year-old.
