Shea Charles

The Whites are ramping up their quest to add quality signings to their squad with an insider providing updates on five players strongly linked with moves to Elland Road

United hope to secure the signing of the 6ft 4in Bosnian in the next hours following confirmation that he will arrive for a medical TODAY - and the club's next transfer priority has now also emerged

The Whites are already planning their next two moves in the transfer market with a long-term midfield target expected to sign next after they ironed out a close-to-club-record deal for Muharemovic

United expect to learn in the coming days if their bid to sign Charles has proved successful following a fresh round of talks with Southampton over the last 24 hours and with the player making his feelings clear on the move

The Whites are understood have been offered a Parma midfielder this summer, with Leeds having so far drawn a frustrating blank in their bid to land top target Shea Charles

United have raised their offer for Charles for a third time as they finally hope to persuade Saints to accept their bid, while the Championship side have been warned that the Whites will not walk away easily from the deal

The Whites have a growing confidence that a deal for Charles will go through this week, with talks ongoing to find common ground over a fee and with the club also in ongoing talks over two other exciting deals

The Whites have lodged an opening bid for the midfielder and sources believe they have a strong chance of getting a deal done, while his side have already identified a potential replacement

The Whites are preparing to press ahead with their long-standing interest in the 22 y/o, with sources confirming that Farke currently leads the race, though his arrival could see a trusted star depart

Jason Wilcox has already signed the player once, and he could do so again - this time for Manchester United
