Leeds United transfers, Mudryk loan rejected as Sunderland ‘reach agreement’ for Igor Paixao | OneFootball

Leeds United have six days to conclude their summer business, with Daniel Farke remaining cautiously optimistic of a strong finish and a left-sided attacker still on the list.

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Chelsea rejected a loan offer for Mykhailo Mudryk and now prefer a switch to sister club Strasbourg, though the Ukrainian is thought to be open to Leeds and to staying in the Premier League. Sunderland are said to have reached an agreement with Igor Paixao and are in talks with Marseille. Leeds also admire Eintracht Frankfurt goalkeeper Michael Zetterer, with any deal reliant on a replacement and likely to affect Lucas Perri.

On the pitch, Leeds have started strongly, winning twice at Nottingham Forest in two competitions without conceding. Tuesday’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win at the City Ground set up a third round meeting with Chelsea or Luton Town next month.

Brentford visit Elland Road on Sunday, while recruitment work continues behind the scenes.

With depth still required across the squad, Leeds look set for a hectic finale to the window. The next few days could be especially telling in wide areas and in goal.
