Leeds United face their second midfield transfer decision as the French side make an enquiry

Ligue 1 outfit Rennes are set to make a move for Leeds United midfielder Glen Kamara, according to reports in France. Major French media outlet L’Equipe have reported that the former Rangers star has been identified as a target as they prepare for two exits.

Leeds are facing a plethora of interest in their players after missing out on a Premier League place last season. Archie Gray has been the subject of a bid from Brentford, with Tottenham looking to seal a move for the Leeds youngster, while Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and Willy Gnonto have been linked with a move.




However, Rennes have already lost Nemanja Matic and Fabian Rieder and Enzo Le Fee is expected to follow them out the door, with Italian giants Roma set to make a move, meaning the French side are looking for reinforcements at the middle of the field.

Reports suggest Kamara is the man they could turn to and the 28-year-old Finland international could cost around £5m. He arrived from Rangers last summer and initially commanded a place in the heart of the Leeds midfield.

He was dropped from the starting line-up towards the end of the season, but won his place back for the two-legged play-off semi-final victory over Norwich and the final at Wembley against Southampton. In total, he made 42 appearances under Daniel Farke last term.

Leeds could see Gray leave in the coming days, with Ilia Gruev also the subject of interest from Borussia Dortmund. They have Ethan Ampadu who could move into central midfield, but that would require more defensive marking, with the Welshman being used in central defense for most of last season.
