Illan Meslier is one player who may have a question mark hovering over him as the summer transfer window approaches, with the Frenchman’s growth slowing following an impressive start at Elland Road. The 24-year-old struggled at times last season, especially in possession. And it appeared that Leeds were open to offers for Meslier as they prepare to leave the Championship on the second attempt.

Nottingham Forest are likely to have included the Moussa Niakhate sale in their 2023-24 accounts, despite the fact that the transfer occurred after June 30.

Leeds United have already sold one major name this summer, Archie Gray, but Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is a ‘great admirer’ of another Elland Road star and might make a £25 million bid.

Nottingham Forest will be looking to add to their team before the Premier League season begins. Right now, the European Championships are taking center stage, but it won’t be long before attention shifts to domestic football.
