Leeds United want playmaker
Leeds United reportedly want to sign playmaker Emi Buendia on a loan-to-buy deal from Aston Villa.
The Whites targeted Buendia in the last summer window, only to find the 28-year-old unwilling to drop back in the Championship.
It has been claimed Leeds remain keen on Buendia and want to sign him on a loan deal featuring an option to buy.
Buendia, an Argentina-capped creator, thrived under Whites boss Daniel Farke when the pair worked together at Norwich City.

Sheffield United forward set for pastures new

“I’ve played in successful, promotion-winning teams before, and know the commitment and desire it takes from everyone within the group to make that happen.
“I don’t think it’s any secret that the club want to be back in the Championship next season, so that’s a goal I share and pressure I’m looking forward to thriving from.
“The supporters here have always been impressive as an opposition player, and I’m looking forward to being on their side going forward. This is a big club that’s aiming high, so I couldn’t be happier to be here."
Hull City defender eyed
Blackburn Rovers are reportedly interested in Hull City’s Cody Drameh as a potential replacement for Callum Brittain.
There has been talk of Brittain potentially leaving Ewood Park and Drameh is said to have been identified as a potential target.
Hull only signed Drameh last summer, picking the 23-year-old up on a free transfer from Leeds United.
