Leeds have reportedly opened talks to sign a Chelsea star in the summer transfer window as they continue to look to improve Daniel Farke's squad.
The Yorkshire club have secured the signature of Tarek Muharemovic and Harry Wilson so far in the summer transfer window.
Leeds have also now agreed a deal to sign Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, according to GIVEMESPORT sources, in a deal which would break their transfer record.
Leeds are set to pay over £40 million, including add-ons, for the English goalkeeper, with Farke's side clearly not messing around in the summer market.
Their spending doesn't appear to be stopping there, though, and they could now be in the market to sign a new striker.

According to a report from TeamTalk, Leeds are one of the sides who have opened talks to sign Chelsea striker Liam Delap during the summer transfer window.
The former Ipswich Town forward will be allowed to leave this summer, and his representatives have now been reaching out to a number of clubs, particularly in the Premier League.
Chelsea are believed to be looking to make a profit on Delap if they are to sell him in the coming weeks, meaning a deal would have to cost over £30 million.
Chelsea are closing in on a move to sign Brighton striker Danny Welbeck, while they also have Joao Pedro, Nicolas Jackson, and Marc Guiu as options through the middle of the attack.

Delap deal doesn't make a lot of sense

A move to sign Chelsea forward Delap in the summer transfer window doesn't make a lot of sense for Leeds at the moment.
The Yorkshire club already have Dominic Calvert-Lewin as their starting centre forward, and the English striker flourished at Elland Road last season.
Delap is fairly similar to Calvert-Lewin in terms of how he loves to involve himself in duels and constantly battle with opposition defenders.
Signing a different profile of striker, maybe someone smaller and more technical, could be a smart move, but bringing in Delap doesn't make an awful lot of sense for Leeds.
