Leeds United held a meeting with the representatives of Leicester City attacker Bilal El Khannouss yesterday, according to Sky Sports Switzerland journalist Sacha Tavolieri. Leeds made it clear they are ready to pay his £24.5 million release clause to bring him to the Elland Road club this summer. The Whites have missed out on Feyenoord attacker Igor Paixao to Marseille, and they have now moved on to El Khannouss.

The 21-year-old Belgian-Moroccan played in 32 Premier League games last term, weighing in with two goals and three assists, and Leeds could do with his quality and experience as they prepare for life back in the Premier League.
He is expected to leave Leicester after they got relegated to the Championship, and he wants to remain in the English top-flight, with the Whites offering him an opportunity.
