Leeds United showing interest in Toulouse midfielder Manu Kone?

Leeds United have reportedly identified Toulouse midfielder Manu Kone as a potential transfer target.

The Yorkshire giants had been hoping to sign Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher on a permanent deal, only for the Blues to instead loan the prospect to West Bromwich Albion.

That has left Marcelo Bielsa to assess his options ahead of the closure of the transfer window on October 5.

According to the Daily Mail, France Under-19 international Kone has emerged as a possible arrival at Elland Road.

The youngster, who has less than a year remaining on his contract, made 13 appearances for Toulouse in Ligue 1 during the last campaign.

Although Bielsa is said to be placing priority on another winger, the Argentine could take the opportunity to sign Kone for a cut-price fee.
