Leeds United transfer latest as Jorgen Strand Larsen alternative ‘offered’ amid Kalvin Phillips update | OneFootball

Leeds United head into deadline day on edge after a 4-0 defeat at Arsenal, despite sitting six points above the drop. With the window closing at 7pm on Monday, their pursuit of Jorgen Strand Larsen is set to fall short.

Leeds have declined to go beyond £40m, while Wolves have accepted a £48m bid from Crystal Palace, and the 25-year-old is undergoing a medical after talks had previously stalled. His representative, Tore Pederson, holds a Leeds season ticket, and it is believed Elland Road was his preferred move.

The Whites are not expected to chase an alternative to Strand Larsen. With Wolves driving a bidding war, the Premier League’s bottom club were always likely to take the highest offer. Joel Piroe is also rumoured to be heading for the exit.

TEAMtalk claims intermediaries for Jhon Duran have offered the Fenerbahce loanee, contracted to Al-Nassr, to as many as five Premier League clubs, including Leeds, Crystal Palace, Newcastle, Nottingham Forest and Tottenham. Duran has scored 5 in 21 this season, having previously netted 20 in 78 for Aston Villa.

CaughtOffside reports Leeds are monitoring Kalvin Phillips’ situation at Manchester City, which is said to be nearing a decisive breaking point. City are reported to be open to offers of around £10m for the 30-year-old, who left Elland Road for Pep Guardiola’s side in 2022.
