Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites join race for 'talented' £30m English youngster

Here are the Leeds United transfer rumours and gossip on Sunday, April 30.

Leeds United set to join race for 'talented' £30m English youngster Alex Scott

Leeds United are reportedly interested in Bristol City star Alex Scott but are likely to face significant competition in order to land his signature.

A player which Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has branded as ' talented ', Scott has dazzled those keeping tabs on him with his performances in the Championship this season, having scored twice and assisted five goals in the 47 matches he's played this season for the Robins.

According to 90Min, he's 'keen' to leave Ashton Gate in the summer after hearing the names of clubs interested in his skills - those namely being Brentford, Newcastle United, Brighton and Leeds.

Liverpool, Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest and Everton are all also monitoring the situation, as they too are keen on getting in on negotiations for the 19-year-old.

Leeds United 'keeping an eye' on £53m Sporting star

Leeds United are still reportedly keeping 'an eye on the development' of summer transfer target Manuel Ugarte from Sporting ahead of the window opening in just over a month's time.

While it's believed that the Primeira Liga side think that Ugarte will be 'protected' by his €60m (£53m) release clause in his contract, they understand that there 'is a market' for his exit.

According to Portuguese outlet Record, it's believed that Leeds are just one of many potential suitors from the Premier League that are looking to sign the 22-year-old.

It's reported that they could face competition from the likes of Newcastle United and Tottenham, while other clubs just over the border in Spain are interested in the star as well.
