Leeds United transfer rumours as Whites reportedly leading race for Birmingham City prodigy

Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours on Monday, 4 April.

Leeds reportedly leading Hall race

Leeds United are reportedly leading the race to secure the signature of Birmingham City prodigy George Hall. The Sun on Sunday's 3 April print edition (p. 61) have claimed that the Whites are in pole position to sign the 17-year-old, who has also been linked with Southampton.

He represents England at under-18 level and if Leeds do lure him away from the Midlands, it would not be the first time they have raided Birmingham for an exciting young talent. Last season, they plucked Amari Miller from the Blues and the winger has become a regular fixture in the Whites under-23 side.

McAvennie insists Raphinha will request move if Barcelona want him

Former West Ham United forward Frankie McAvennie has claimed Leeds United star Raphinha will ask to leave the club if Spanish giants Barcelona do indeed want him. They have been heavily linked with the 25-year-old, who has shone in the Premier League since arriving in 2020 from French outfit Rennes.

Speaking to Football Insider, McAvennie said: "Leeds or Barcelona? I mean, oh my god, no brainer. Just look at [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang, he’s gone over there and he’s worked wonders. Raphinha will want a bit of that. I don’t think he’s set the world on fire this season to be honest with you. He’s a talented boy but have we seen enough for Barcelona to get him?

"I’m not sure but I know one thing for sure, he will be asking to leave if Barcelona do want him. Fighting relegation with Leeds or playing in the Champions League with Barcelona? That’s an easy one for me so if that bid comes in, he wants that conversation."
