Euro Paper Talk: Orta looking to bring €28m duo to Leeds as five prepare to leave; Prem rivals beat Spurs to €25m striker Leeds are ready to sign two more stars for €28m and offload five unwanted players before the window shuts, while Tottenham look set to miss out on their top striker target, according to Tuesday’s Euro Paper Talk. CUISANCE, KERK SIGNING HOPE FOR LEEDS Leeds are reported to be confident of making two late transfer window additions to their squad. The Whites have invested well so far this summer, bringing in Rodrigo Moreno, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente. They still want to sign a new No 10, but efforts to prise Rodrigo De Paul from Udinese appear to have failed. Leeds had lodged a €25m bid plus add-ons for the Argentine, but it seems the Serie A side are holding out for nearer €35m. As per Italian paper Messaggero Veneto, a deal with Leeds now looks off. However, Leeds have wasted little time and are said to be closing on two other targets of director of football Victor Orta and boss Marcelo Bielsa.. The first of those is Bayern’s Michael Cuisance. As per L’Equipe, the European champions are now mulling over Leeds’ €20m offer for the France U21 star. The price is thought to be acceptable for Bayern, but they must first wait to see what happens with Javi Martinez first. The Spain star has been linked with a move back to former club, Athletic Bilbao. Should he stay, there’s a strong chance, Leeds will land attacking midfielder Cuisance. Leeds are also looking to sign another winger. They are very much in the market for Man Utd’s Daniel James. But their hopes of landing him appear to rest on the Red Devils’ chances of signing Jadon Sancho. Instead, Leeds have reportedly made progress in their bid to land FC Utrecht winger Gyrano Kerk. United have offered €8m for the winger and the Daily Mail, citing reports in Holland, say the Dutch club are of the mind to accept. Leeds’ offer trumps the €6m offered by Verona and Cagliari. Like James, Kerk is said to be blessed with blistering pace. LEEDS TO OFFLOAD KIKO CASILLA Leeds will also reportedly offload up to five senior players before the deadline shuts at 11pm on Monday. The highest-profile of these will be Kiko Casilla, who the Daily Telegraph claim could return to Spain. The keeper is on a reported £32,000 a week but has slipped to second choice behind Ilan Meslier. Leeds are also looking to move Barry Douglas on should a suitable bid come in.

CUISANCE, KERK SIGNING HOPE FOR LEEDS

Leeds are reported to be confident of making two late transfer window additions to their squad.

Leeds had lodged a €25m bid plus add-ons for the Argentine, but it seems the Serie A side are holding out for nearer €35m. As per Italian paper Messaggero Veneto, a deal with Leeds now looks off.

However, Leeds have wasted little time and are said to be closing on two other targets of director of football Victor Orta and boss Marcelo Bielsa..

The first of those is Bayern’s Michael Cuisance. As per L’Equipe, the European champions are now mulling over Leeds’ €20m offer for the France U21 star.

The price is thought to be acceptable for Bayern, but they must first wait to see what happens with Javi Martinez first. The Spain star has been linked with a move back to former club, Athletic Bilbao.
