Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites given price-tag for Gent striker Gift Orban

Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Tuesday, April 4.

Leeds United learn price-tag for Gift Orban

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has claimed that reported Leeds United target Gift Orban could cost the Whites more than €20million (£17.5m) to sign him.

Orban has recorded 14 goals and two assists for Gent this season and Romano claims that the forward is 'expected to be on the move' in the summer transfer window. He states that clubs are already 'monitoring' him and Leeds are understood to be among those interested in securing his services.

A striker is thought to be high on the priority list for Leeds next term, with the likes of Viktor Gyokeres also being tipped to move to Elland Road. With their Premier League status still up in the air however, any business may have to wait until May when Javi Gracia's side will know whether or not they will be playing in the top-flight for the 2023/24 campaign.

Newcastle United 'top option' for Kalvin Phillips

Elsewhere, GiveMeSport are reporting that Newcastle look set to be the 'top option' for former Leeds star Kalvin Phillips should he leave Manchester City this summer.

They claim that Phillips is still keen to prove himself at the reigning champions as he looks for a chance to showcase his talent at the highest level. Poor form and bad luck with injury have prevented him from any substantial game time under Pep Guardiola this term.

It is also thought that both Leicester City and West Ham are eyeing up a move for Phillips, with the Hammers no doubt preparing for the worst should Declan Rice jump ship at the end of the season. The report does add that a return to Elland Road is 'out of the question right now' for the midfielder.
