# Leeds: Whites make Arnaud Kalimuendo bid in last 24 hours

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have made an offer to sign Paris Saint-Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo in the last 24 hours.**

### The Lowdown: Kalimuendo interest

Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers have been on the hunt for a new forward for Leeds this summer and were first [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-make-offer-for-psg-youngster-arnaud-kalimuendo-transfer-marsch-raphinha/) with Kalimuendo in June. However, Victor Orta and co [placed](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jul/14/football-transfer-rumours-leeds-in-for-charles-de-ketelaere-and-juan-mata) Charles De Ketelaere at the top of their attacking wish list, which duly cooled rumours regarding the PSG youngster.

De Ketelaere is [now set to join](https://www.hln.be/belgisch-voetbal/de-deal-is-eindelijk-rond-charles-de-ketelaere-stapt-vanavond-op-het-vliegtuig-richting-milaan-club-brugge-vangt-recordbedrag~a1fea4a0/?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2F) AC Milan from Club Brugge, and it looks as if Leeds have since gone back in for Kalimuendo with a big-money offer.

### The Latest: Leeds bid

French outlet [Media Foot](https://mediafootmarseille.fr/leeds-degaine-une-offre-pour-kalimuendo-psg-info-media-foot/.html) revealed on Monday evening that Leeds have ‘just gone on the attack’ and have ‘sent a very good offer to PSG’, thought to be worth €20m (£16.7m).

The report says that PSG’s director of football Luis Campos is hoping to complete a deal between €20m and €25m (£16.7m-£21m).

### The Verdict: Get it done

Leeds won’t want to drag out their pursuit of landing a new striker, so hopefully they’ll be able to wrap up a transfer relatively quickly.

They appear to be at the lower end of PSG’s demands for the 20-year-old, who would not only bring a goalscoring prowess to Elland Road, having netted [13 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arnaud-kalimuendo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/585959) on loan at Lens last season.

Kalimuendo ranks in the [99th percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/bf4c41f9/Arnaud-Kalimuendo) for forwards across Europe’s top five leagues when it comes to passing success rate (82.6%), showing excellent composure in the final third for such a young player.

He’ll also be able to play [out wide](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/arnaud-kalimuendo/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/585959) if required, so he could well be just what Jesse Marsch needs in order to rival the likes of Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt.
