🔥 Leeds Reignite Sunderland Rivalry in £22.5m Bilal El Khannouss Chase After Paixao Blow – Fans Demand Answers as Transfer Tensions .

Leeds United supporters are growing increasingly anxious to learn which attacking talent the club will target next, following the collapse of their pursuit of Feyenoord star Igor Paixao.

The Brazilian winger, who tallied an impressive 37 goal contributions last season, ultimately opted for a £30.3 million move to Marseille — his preferred destination — despite Leeds’ hope that financial constraints might derail the Ligue 1 club’s efforts.

With Manor Solomon returning to Tottenham and Paixao no longer an option, Leeds’ summer shortlist has reportedly shrunk to just two primary targets. One emerging name is Bilal El Khannouss of Leicester City — a gifted 21-year-old Moroccan playmaker with a £22.5 million relegation release clause. His availability has sparked a fresh transfer tug-of-war, reigniting Leeds’ growing rivalry with Sunderland.

Earlier in the window, Sunderland appeared to shadow Leeds’ recruitment plans, beating them to signings like Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki. Reinildo Mandava, another target for the Whites, also ended up at the Stadium of Light. The renewed competition over El Khannouss further fuels speculation of a transfer strategy clash between the two newly promoted sides.

However, Leeds and Sunderland aren’t alone in the race. Crystal Palace are eyeing El Khannouss to bolster their depth for European competition, while Everton — now influenced by former Leeds chief Angus Kinnear — seek attacking reinforcements following Jack Harrison’s exit. West Ham, fresh from a disappointing 14th-place Premier League finish, are desperate for creative spark and have also entered the fray.

Meanwhile, Crysencio Summerville, whose form dipped last season, may be watching developments nervously. West Ham’s interest in a left-sided attacker could directly impact his future at Leeds. Reports also hint that Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli are monitoring the situation, further intensifying the battle for El Khannouss’ signature.

As Leeds fans await clarity on the club’s next move, one thing is certain — the summer window is far from over, and the transfer chess match has only just begun.
