Here are your Leeds United transfer rumours on Thursday, January 20.
Leeds monitoring Scottish youngster
While all the talk in Leeds circles is understandably dominated by the Brenden Aaronson links at the moment, there are other reported targets on Victor Orta’s radar.
One of those is young Aberdeen full-back Calvin Ramsay who, according to the Daily Record, is the subject of interest from a number of Premier League clubs.
In the game against Rangers on Tuesday evening, a Whites scout was joined by counterparts from Manchester United, Tottenham, Leicester and Southampton with the 18-year-old reportedly the player they were all there to watch.
The Dons are hoping to keep hold of their most promising star before the end of the month but they are said to only be willing to agree a deal that would see him re-join the club on loan for the rest of the season.
Victor Orta 'spotted' at Munich airport
One here to take with a pinch of salt.
There has been no secret made of Leeds’ pursuit of Brenden Aaronson with a £15m bid being knocked back by Red Bull Salzburg according to The Athletic.
However, there is plenty more left of the saga between now and the end of the month with the Whites expected to return with a better offer in the next few days.
Just to add to the story that continues to unfold, one Leeds supporter claims to have spotted Victor Orta in Munich airport, just 90 miles away from Salzburg.
People visiting Austria from England often get a flight into Bavaria before getting further travel whether that’s another plane or a train.
Aaronson is clearly a player that Marcelo Bielsa and his recruitment team admire but it is now in the hands of his club as to whether they are willing to sell the 21-year-old midfielder.
Aaronson social media hint?
We all know by now that transfers send everyone a bit crazy and some rumours should be instantly discounted.
However, as mad as this one sounds, there seem to be some legs in it.
Milana D’Ambre, the girlfriend of Aaronson, has dropped a potentially huge hint as to where her partner’s future could lie.
In the aftermath of talk about the American youngster joining Leeds, she has followed the Leeds’ official Instagram account on her personal account.
It hardly means that he is signing the contract as we speak but it is an interesting advancement all the same.
