Leeds United have reportedly made Paris Saint-Germain forward Arnaud Kalimuendo their new ‘prime target’.

The Lowdown: Final piece of summer jigsaw

The Whites have been extremely busy so far this summer, with Andrea Radrizzani fulfilling his promise when it comes to first-team additions.

Leeds have brought in six new players at a cost of £95m, with Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha heading the other way. The club still want to bring in a new striker, though, in what appears to be the final piece of the transfer jigsaw ahead of Jesse Marsch’s first full season in charge at Elland Road.

The Latest: Kalimuendo update

MOT Leeds News relayed an update from The Daily Mail's print edition (pg 142, 17 July) on Sunday, looking mainly at Newcastle’s interest in Jack Harrison.

However, they claimed that the Whites are ‘continuing’ discussions over a new forward, with Kalimuendo now a ‘prime target’.

The Verdict: CDK who?

It seems as if Victor Orta and co have finally moved on from long-term target Charles De Ketelaere, who is still holding out for a transfer to AC Milan.

It’s good to see that the club have alternative options, with reports even suggesting that Leeds are intensifying talks over a deal worth €25m (£21.3m) for Kalimuendo.

Phil Hay has even said that the Whites are ‘firm admirers’ of the 20-year-old, so it looks as if the Frenchman - who journalist Jacque Talbot hailed as a 'disgustingly good striker' with 'bags of potential' - is the new number one target at Elland Road.
