# Leeds: Phil Hay makes exciting transfer claim

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) correspondent [Phil Hay](https://theathletic.com/3385325/2022/06/28/kalvin-phillips-transfer-raphinha-leeds/) has claimed the club could make three more signings this summer.**

### The Lowdown: Two huge exits

Victor Orta has been a busy man this summer, bringing in Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca at combined cost of just over [£52m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/transfers/verein/399/plus/?saison_id=2022&pos=&detailpos=&w_s=).

Andrea Radrizzani’s phone has also been ringing, with Leeds looking likely to lose Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.

Leeds have agreed to an initial [£42m](https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-kalvin-phillips-man-city-transfer-news/zqE5mZ7zWwmz/) fee with Manchester City for Phillips and a [£60m-£65m](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1541846496022335488) total fee with Chelsea for Raphinha.

### The Latest: Hay’s claim

Hay shared a story for [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/3385325/2022/06/28/kalvin-phillips-transfer-raphinha-leeds/) on Tuesday morning regarding how Leeds will recover from selling Phillips and Raphinha.

He claimed that ‘Phillips and Raphinha moving on could mean a total of six players coming in’ – with ‘a midfielder, a winger and a forward to follow’ to the three already signed.

### The Verdict: Camara, De Ketelaere and Gakpo?

Leeds have been heavily linked with three players in recent weeks who appear to fit Hay’s recent claim.

The Whites have apparently made [‘direct contact’](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport/status/1541889076734967812) with the representatives of RB Salzburg midfielder Mohamed Camara and are in [talks](https://twitter.com/rikelfrink/status/1541820492587442176?s=21&t=eRK8Slf5WeKQXHexhMeu1Q) for PSV winger Cody Gakpo.

Hay has previously admitted that Leeds are also [‘serious’](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1540696641732284418) about signing Club Brugge forward Charles de Ketelaere, so those three could well arrive in Yorkshire, with Leeds potentially using all the funds from pending Phillips and Raphinha sales.
