Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Wednesday, September 14, 2022.
Fabiano Parisi distances himself from Leeds transfer talk
Young Serie A left-back Fabiano Parisi has confirmed he doesn't want to move away from Empoli in the January transfer window after interest from a variety of clubs including Leeds.
The 19-year-old has lit up the Italian top-flight after being instrumental to Empoli's promotion from Serie B last season, having completed more dribbles than any other player (12).
Speaking to Italian tabloid Gazzetta dello Sport, Parisi insisted he's "not thinking about the transfer market" after interest from fellow Serie A teams Torino, Fiorentina and Atalanta as well as other European sides Leeds and Nice.

“It must be the year of confirmation. Fortunately, I was able to carry out all the (pre-season) preparations without incident, unlike the two previous seasons.
“I am not thinking of the transfer market, but of playing well at Empoli. It is the ideal club for young people. They allow you to grow without pressure and allow you to make mistakes.
“The other big goal is to join the national team. I hope (Italy coach Roberto) Mancini will give me a look.”
Leeds interest remains in West Ham youngster according to transfer insider
Leeds are still looking at finding a way of getting West Ham youngster Harrison Ashby despite missing out on his services on deadline day last week.
The 20-year-old right back has made three appearances for the Scottish International U-21s but his current club are reportedly trying to negotiate a new deal with the youngster after blocking a move to Elland Road in the summer.
According to transfer insider Dean Jones, who spoke in an interview with GIVEMESPORT, Ashby's deal will run out at the end of this season and Leeds remain interested despite West Ham's stubbornness about letting him go.
"They do still like him. I think, from here, it’s going to depend on how West Ham decide to deal with him.
“Whether they reassess his contract situation and they can convince him of their own plans, there’s a lot to be sorted out there over the next few months.”
