Here is your Leeds United transfer gossip and rumours on Saturday, October 29.
PSV 'forced' to sell star Leeds United target to prevent 'season ending in red'
PSV Eindhoven might be forced to sell star winger Cody Gakpo for a cheaper price due to financial difficulties according to Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf.
While transfer guru Fabrizio Romano contradicted this report yesterday by tweeting that the Whites are now 'unlikely' to sign the Dutchman but with this report, it seems as though a move could be back on the cards.
The 23-year-old has scored 13 goals and recorded his 14th assist of the season last night in their 2-0 win over Premier League table-toppers Arsenal in the Europa League.

According to De Telegraaf, the Eredivisie club is desperate for funds and may have to sell some of their biggest players to 'prevent the season from ending deep in the red'.
They believe PSV 'cannot actually refuse' an offer of £26 million, a price range right in the budget of Leeds who, after missing out on his services in the summer, will be chomping at the bit to secure a big signing to try and reverse their form so far this season.
AC Milan could swoop in for Leeds United target in January
Italian giants AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Red Bull Salzburg striker Noah Okafor in the January transfer window, potentially dashing Leeds' hopes of signing the 22-year-old.
According to CalcioMercato, Okafor has been on Milan's shortlist for a long time but will have 'stiff competition' to beat which includes teams like the Whites.
Okafor has scored eight times and recorded two assists in his 18 appearances in all competitions this season and has been rumoured to have been scouted by Leeds since the summer transfer window but no move was made.
Okafor's contract with the Austrian club runs out in 2024, meaning he could be bought for a cheap price and would be a huge bolster to Leeds' ranks going forward.
The player's agent Gianluca di Domenico has said in the past he'd be available for as little as £25 million showing he could be a great secondary target to Cody Gakpo if Leeds are unable to land the Dutchman's services in January.
