Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani confirms the club is trying to sign Cody Gakpo from PSV Eindhoven on Deadline Day.
Radrizzani chose Twitter to reply to a fan, confirming Leeds are doing everything to sign Dutch star after agreeing deal with Marseille for Bamba Dieng.
Agreed. Let s welcome Bamba Dieng and we will continue to work on Gapko. Now it s time to focus on the pitch and support our new project and the great job Jesse and the staff are doing ???

Southampton are also in race to sign the 23-year-old and both teams face race against time to complete the transfer deal before 11pm.
Jesse Marsch is said to be a big fan of Gakpo, who scored 21 goals last season and already has started the season on fire, bagging 6 times in only 4 league appearances.
