Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Sunday, 16 October.
Leeds-linked Pulisic told to snub a move to Elland Road
United States football legend Eric Wynalda believes that USMNT star and current Chelsea player Christian Pulisic should snub a move to Leeds in favour of Newcastle United in the January transfer window.
The 24-year-old was a target for both clubs during the summer transfer window but a move failed to come to fruition with the American winger staying put at Stamford Bridge.

New manager Graham Potter handed Pulisic a start last weekend in Chelsea's 3-0 win over Wolves, in which the winger scored, but was on the bench once again in midweek for their 2-0 Champions League win at AC Milan.
Speaking to Vegas Insider, Wynalda said: “I think if he ends up making a move in January, after the World Cup, I am starting to lean more and more towards the direction of Newcastle.
“Things that I am hearing about the money they are going to splash is interesting. I don’t think Leeds, for example, would be a good spot for him. That’s not a team that is going to score a ton of goals. He’s going to be on the end of a lot of quality if he stays at Chelsea, he’s just not going to get the minutes that would equate to big numbers.”
Whites receive boost in race for Noa Lang
Leeds' chances of signing Club Brugge winger Noa Lang could be increased after the Dutchman was left out of the Belgian outfit's squad for their match against Anderlecht with his situation proving fragile.
The Whites did make an attempt to sign the 23-year-old during the summer transfer window but Lang opted to stay in Brugge, a decision that is now looking to prove to be a mistake.
It is understood that Jesse Marsch is keen to recruit in the January transfer window in order to bolster his squad depth to compete in the Premier League and Lang could offer an alternative dynamic in the final third compared to the current options of Jack Harrison, Brenden Aaronson and Luis Sinisterra amongst others.
Moreover, with his stock falling, United may be able to strike themselves a bargain with Brugge manager Philippe Clement deeming the winger surplus to requirements.
