Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours from across the internet on Monday, May 22.

Leeds United among Premier League sides to send scouts to watch midfielder

Leeds United have been listed among a gaggle of Premier League clubs that have dispatched scouts to watch Strasbourg midfielder Habib Diarra, according to Sun journalist Alan Nixon.

The 19-year-old was reportedly also watched by Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leicester City, both the Manchester side, Tottenham, West Ham and Wolverhampton Wanderers, with Villa and Wolves said to be leading the race for the defensive midfielder, who has been valued at £20million.

The teenager has made 26 appearances for Strasbourg in Ligue 1 this season, but as with most rumours at the moment, Leeds' divisional status will likely play a key part in determining if Elland Road is a feasible destination for him.

Full-back linked

Another player linked is AZ Alkmaar full-back Milos Kerkez, with the Mirror's Tom Hopkinson reporting that the 19-year-old has Leeds, Brighton, Bournemouth, Wolves and Benfica looking at him.

Capped four times by Hungary, Kerkez is believed to be one of the best young left-backs in Europe and is rated at £8million. Alkmaar are said to be bracing themselves for offers this summer.
