Your Leeds United transfer rumours for Tuesday, March 21.
Whites want more Red Bull wings
Leeds United are chasing another Red Bull Salzburg player, according to Football Insider. Noah Okafor is the latest name to be linked with a move to Elland Road from the Austrian club.
Rasmus Kristensen arrived last summer while Maximilian Wober has hit the ground running since his January move. Any suggestions Jesse Marsch - a former RB Salzburg manager - moving on would impact any relationship with the club appear to be false.

Okafor, who has scored 10 goals across all competitions this season, will have just a year left on his contract this summer. At 22, his best days are ahead of him and he is capable of playing anywhere across the frontline.
A move for Okafor would likely hinge on the Whites staying in the Premier League.
Meslier scouted
Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed Illan Meslier is being scouted by Chelsea. At the weekend, the Frenchman became the youngest goalkeeper to reach 100 Premier League appearances.
Meslier has been a rare highlight for Leeds in 2022-23 - a feat that is naturally going to attract potential suitors. Lavish spenders Chelsea are the club whose name continues to circulate.
Neither Edouard Mendy nor Kepa Arrizabalaga have cemented themselves as undisputed number one at Stamford Bridge - paving the way for Meslier to step in. Speaking to CaughtOffside, Romano revealed Chelsea are watching the Leeds goalie.
“Links with someone like Illan Meslier and a top club like Chelsea are normal,” he said. “He’s a very talented goalkeeper and many clubs have sent their scouts to follow him.
“But at the moment, Leeds want to keep things quiet and not open any negotiation now. Chelsea are yet to decide on the goalkeepers’ situation.”
