Leeds United transfer rumours as Premier League duo enter race for Whites' target

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Monday, December 19.

Liverpool and Everton enter race for teenager targeted by Leeds United

Liverpool and Everton have joined the race to sign Birmingham City midfielder George Hall, according to the Daily Mail.

Leeds have been tracking the 18-year-old for some time and made an attempt to sign him last summer only to be put off by Birmingham's valuation.

The Whites are expected to continue their pursuit of Hall next month, although Birmingham boss John Eustace has insisted that the Blues hope to keep the midfielder.

The report claims that Liverpool and Everton are 'monitoring' Hall, with both clubs looking to attract 'prospective top talents'.

Hall has been tipped for a bright future and has amassed 18 appearances for the Blues in the Championship this term. He was left out of Birmingham's 3-2 defeat against Reading on Friday due to a calf strain.

Manchester United 'not set to trigger 12-month extension' as David de Gea faces exit amid Illan Meslier rumours

David de Gea could leave Manchester United on a free transfer in the summer with the Red Devils 'unwilling' to trigger a 12-month extension in his contract.

Sky Germany claim that Man United are 'not considering' keeping de Gea and that Ten Hag is 'open' to signing a replacement, despite the Spaniard wanting to extend his stay at Old Trafford.

Media Foot reported last week that the Red Devils are in pursuit of Leeds goalkeeper Illan Meslier along with Premier League rivals Chelsea. The Whites are reportedly eying up Croatia's heroic World Cup goalkeeper Dominik Likakovic as a potential replacement.

De Gea joined Man United from Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2011 and has virtually been the first-choice goalkeeper at the Theatre of Dreams for the past 11 years.

He has made 507 appearances for the Red Devils and has won seven trophies, including the Premier League title in 2013.
