Leeds go for Marseille forward Bamba Dieng

Olympique Marseille forward Bamba Dieng is a target for Leeds United today.

The Senegal international, 22, has been tracked by the Whites during the summer and they are hopeful of securing his signature by the end of the day.

Leeds boss Jesse Marsch has been desperate to add a new striker all window, especially so after top scorer Rodrigo dislocated his shoulder against Everton on Tuesday.

Dieng mainly plays as a centre-forward but can also operate off both the left and right.

The move for Dieng comes after Leeds failed with approaches for PSV's Cody Gakpo and Wolves' Hwang Hee-chan.
