Here are the latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Thursday, July 21.
Leeds 'seduced' by French striker
Leeds United are reportedly one of three clubs looking at Boredeaux forward Sekou Mara.
The 19-year-old had a breakthrough campaign last season, scoring six goals in Ligue 1, most of which were from substitute appearances. Mara is just one of many players set to leave Bordeaux this summer, with the club experiencing serious financial trouble.
According to Foot Mercato, Newcastle United are the frontrunners to sign Mara. Newcastle's pursuit is said to be 'very concrete', while Leeds and Aston Villa are 'seduced' by the prospect of signing Mara.
Kalimuendo update
Leeds United could soon move for Paris-Saint Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
Kalimuendo is just one of several strikers to be linked with a move to Leeds, as Jesse Marsch looks to strengthen his squad that narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League last season. The 20-year-old has also been linked with Newcastle and OGC Nice.
“Kalimuendo has always been one of the players (on) the list," said Romano on the Que Golazo show on YouTube. "Let’s see if Leeds decide to jump into it again, because then they focus.
“They wanted him one month ago, then they focused on Charles De Ketelaere, but now Milan are (leading the race for him). So, Leeds are waiting to see what happens with De Ketelaere. If the player is joining Milan – as it seems – they will move on different targets – Kalimuendo could be one of them.”

Newcastle launch £24 million proposal for Harrison
Newcastle have reportedly tabled an offer of £24 million for Jack Harrison. The winger has been linked with a move to Newcastle this summer, with Eddie Howe a fan of the player's versatility.
TuttoMercato have reported that Leeds have a £24 million offer on the table from Newcastle, but Marsch is holding out for a fee in the region of £36 million.
It remains to be seen whether Newcastle meet Leeds' demands when it comes to a fee for Harrison, but Howe is keen to add a winger to his squad, with the Magpies also linked with Bayer Leverkusen star Moussa Diaby this summer.
