Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Saturday, December 24.
Holgate enquiry
Leeds United have reportedly made an enquiry over the availability of Everton defender Mason Holgate. That is according to the Sun, who claim Lyon are also keen on the 26-year-old and the Toffees could be willing to let him leave in January to free up some funds.
Holgate is primarily a centre-back but is currently behind James Tarkowski, Conor Coady, Yerry Mina and Ben Godfrey when everyone is fit an available. It is difficult to see Leeds sanctioning the signing of a new centre back next month unless someone leaves, though his versatility could make him an attractive proposition given he can also play at right back and defensive midfield.
Drameh
Leeds United are now reportedly 'fighting' to keep Cody Drameh at the club beyond the January transfer window. That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims Jesse Marsch will 'push again' to encourage Drameh to stay at the club by offering him playing time, while also stating another loan move isn't an option.

Despite competition from Rasmus Kristensen and Luke Ayling, Drameh opted to stay at Elland Road in the summer and fight for his place but has seen opportunities very hard to come by. Similarly to 12 months ago, Drameh is desperate for more game time and the likes of Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United, West Ham and Crystal Palace are interested.
Vazquez
Valencia have reportedly changed their transfer stance on Leeds United-linked left back Jesus Vazquez ahead of the January window. That is according to Gianluca Di Marzio, who claims that Valencia are now open to allowing Vazquez to leave permanently for a fee in the region of €4-5 million.
However, with that said, Di Marzio reports that it is in fact Torino who have made the first move to sign him and talks are already ongoing over a permanent January transfer. Leeds have been linked with a move for Vazquez for several weeks now but previous reports indicated that Valencia would only discuss the possibility of a loan.
