Here are your latest Leeds United transfer rumours.

Adams rumours

Tyler Adams has been among the few positives in an otherwise dismal campaign for the Whites so far. Signed as Kalvin Phillips' replacement, the USA international has quickly adapted to the Premier League and has proven a huge miss during his enforced spell on the sidelines.

Relegation will inevitably cast doubt over the future of the several of the club's prized assets. According to GiveMeSport, both Arsenal and Newcastle United are considering a move for Adams in the event of Leeds dropping down to the Championship.

The midfielder has made 26 appearances in his debut campaign at Elland Road, but is not expected to return before the end of the season after undergoing surgery on a hamstring injury in March.

Mercer move?

Premier League safety is the obvious immediate priority for the Whites. However, that has seemingly not stopped the club from making early transfer moves according to Football Insider.

The title claim Leeds are 'plotting a move' for Aberdeen's rising star Jamie Mercer, who is said to be attracting attention from a number of Premier League clubs. The 16-year-old defender has featured at under-18 level for the Dons, with United keen to confirm the signing before the window opens.

According to Football Insider, it would be Leeds' second foray into the Scottish market already ahead of the summer. The Whites are said to have seen off competition to sign Hamilton 'sensation' Josh McDonald for a fee in the region of £150,000.
