Leeds United supporters have been getting a little excited at reports the Whites and Watford are close to a verbal agreement for the signing of Ismaila Sarr. According to reports in France a deal is close to completion.
Sarr has also been linked with Premier League rivals Manchester United and Newcastle United in recent weeks, with his impressive start to the season only reinforcing the belief he will leave Watford this summer.
French publication Foot Mercato claim that negotiations are also close to completion. The report adds that the arrival of the Senegalese international hinges on a departure from Elland Road. However, our understanding is that Leeds are exploring a number of options and while Sarr may have featured on a list of targets, talk of a deal being close is not the case and a deal is not currently expected.
