Leeds United transfers, James Trafford latest and Igor Paixao links | OneFootball

Leeds United’s transfer business remains active, with James Trafford back in England and still awaiting an unveiling, renewed links to Igor Paixao, and scouts watching a potential £9m target shine against Arsenal.

According to United Radio 97.6 Marseille, Marseille have agreed a deal to sign Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo but must sell first, with Igor Paixao among those earmarked for sale and Leeds and Aston Villa cited as leading contenders. While Paixao remains on their books, he is inadvertently holding up the Hassan move.

Trafford is understood to have returned from holiday and is back in England. The England international was given three weeks off after the World Cup and recently shared a training clip appearing to be at Sheepmount Athletics Stadium in Carlisle. A £40m move to Leeds was agreed over a week ago, though he has not yet been unveiled.

Leeds scouts watched Real Betis’ Nelson Deossa face Arsenal in Dublin. The Colombian, a potential £9m target, scored with a 30-yard strike into the top corner as Betis, Champions League qualifiers, beat the Gunners 3-1.

Leeds continue to assess additions and possible exits as the window develops, with further movement possible in the coming days.
