Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours for Monday, May 8.
McAtee claim
Leeds United are one of a host of clubs linked with Manchester City's rising star James McAtee. The 20-year-old endured a difficult start to his first experience of senior football on loan with Sheffield United, but the midfielder grew into a key player for the Blades as they secured a return to the Premier League.
Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Leicester City, and Wolves have all been credited with an interest in McAtee. However, YorkshireLive report City are set to reward the loanee for his fine form with talks over a new contract at the Etihad.
McAtee has featured in all but nine league fixtures this season for United, contributing eight goals and three assists. Paul Heckingbottom has not hidden his desire to renew the loan agreement for the midfielder, along with fellow City prospect Tommy Doyle.

Frankfurt move
The Whites have previously been linked with El Chadaille Bitshiabu, the teenage defender who is a coveted talent in the Paris Saint-Germain academy. However, the latest reports indicate it is Eintracht Frankfurt who have made the first move, according to French outlet Foot Mercato via Inside Futbol.
The defender will enter the final year of his contract this summer, with the Ligue 1 champions keen to extend this deal. However, PSG are also said to be willing to agree to a sale in the upcoming window, provided they receive a bid in the region of £13 million.
All focus at Elland Road right now is understandably on the battle for survival, with Sam Allardyce now preparing his side to take on Newcastle United in the early kick-off on Saturday. It means that it is not 'clear' how the Whites will respond to Frankfurt making the first move.
