# Leeds: Source close to Julian Quinones rubbishes journalist’s claim

**A source close to [Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) target Julian Quinones has rubbished rumours that the forward is heading to Elland Road.**

### The Lowdown: Journalist’s claim

The Whites are on the hunt for a new forward this summer and have been credited with an interest in Atlas man Quinones after missing out on Charles De Ketelaere.

[Reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-now-eyeing-move-for-julian-quinones/) have suggested that the Colombian is ‘very popular’ with Jesse Marsch, with journalist [Gerardo Melin](https://twitter.com/elmagazo/status/1553100018730549248?s=21&t=gE3IjBIPx_BFHwmTEEDGWQ) even going as far as saying that the 25-year-old ‘is going to Leeds United’.

However, it doesn’t appear as if a transfer is as far down the line as Melin believes, with [LUFCFANZONE](https://twitter.com/lufcfanz0ne/status/1553327166863065088?s=21&t=af59lxVgL-Xili0ViADiMA) talking to ‘a source close to Julian Quinones’.

### The Latest: No deal agreed

The source in question, who is close to the player, is aware of the rumours regarding a move to Yorkshire for Quinones, but they say that no contact has been made as of yet.

[LUFCFANZONE](https://twitter.com/lufcfanz0ne/status/1553327166863065088?s=21&t=af59lxVgL-Xili0ViADiMA) posted the comments on Twitter on Saturday lunchtime, with the source adding that the two clubs ‘definitely haven’t agreed a transfer’.

### The Verdict: Time is ticking

The new [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season is just a few days away, and you could argue that Leeds are yet to bolster a problem area following last season’s struggles.

Patrick Bamford made just [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/patrick-bamford/leistungsdaten/spieler/183334/plus/0?saison=2021) league starts due to a spate of injuries, with the tally of Whites’ goals scored in the top flight [dropping by 20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/platzierungen/verein/399) from the previous campaign.

Bringing in a new forward could be the difference between another year of frustration in front of goal or a more comfortable season for Leeds and Jesse Marsch, so hopefully one more will come in this month.
