Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Friday, 4 November 2022.
Okafor demands
Red Bull Salzburg have reportedly told interested clubs that they will have to pay between €30-35 million for striker Noah Okafor, according to Calciomercato. Leeds United, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund are some of the sides said to be interested in the Switzerland international, who has nine goals in all competitions this season.
Okafor is out of contract in 2024 and could leave next summer to ensure he does not leave on a free the following year. It is well documented that Leeds remain in the market for a new first team forward, and Okafor could be someone who fits that bill.
Dia race
Leeds United are reportedly in a three-way fight with West Ham and Nottingham Forest for Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport. Dia is currently on loan at the Italian side from Villarreal but are expected to buy him permanently for around €12 million, before immediately selling him on for 'at least' €16-17 million.

The 25-year-old is said to have his heart set on a move to England and with Leeds in the market for a striker, could fit the bill. Dia has scored five goals and provided two assists in 11 Serie A appearances so far this season.
Gueye
Leeds United and Southampton are reportedly interested in a move for Marseille midfielder Papa Gueye, according to Jeunes Footeux. They claim that the Premier League duo have set their sights on Gueye ahead of a potential January move.
Gueye currently finds himself behind Valentin Rongier, Mattéo Guendouzi and Jordan Veretout in the battle for a first choice midfield role at Marseille, which could see him leave the club in the coming months. With Adam Forshaw still plagued by injury problems, the signing of a new midfielder may not be out of the question for Leeds.
