Leeds target late double transfer swoop for Man Utd target Cody Gakpo and Wolves forward Hwang Hee-Chan


LEEDS are eyeing late moves for Wolves forward Hwang Hee-chan and PSV’s Cody Gakpo.  

Whites boss Jesse Marsch has been tracking Hwang all summer and wants more firepower after top scorer Rodrigo dislocated his shoulder in Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against the Toffees.

The American managed the South Korean, 26, at both Red Bull Salzburg and Leipzig.

After Tuesday’s draw with the Toffees, Marsch said: “I know Hee-chan very well. I like him and he knows our football.

“He’s been on our list since the beginning.”

Hwang scored in Wolves opening day defeat against Leeds.

PSV winger Gakpo is also fancied but Leeds face competition from Southampton.

The Dutch side rejected a £21.4m bid from the Saints for the 23-year-old, who was the subject of interest from Manchester United, earlier this week. 

Leeds winger Dan James has been linked with the exit door at Elland Road, with Tottenham eyeing up a loan move for the Welshman.

And Marsch has not ruled out his exit.

He said: “I like Dan and I think he has been a big part of what we have done here before I came and since I have been here.

“I don’t anticipate big movement in the group, but we have to see what happens in the next 24 hours.”

The move for James could subsequently see Bryan Gil move to Valencia on loan again.
