Leeds United have reportedly included Paraguay goalkeeper Orlando Gill on a five-player shortlist as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping options. The Yorkshire giants have already finalised a £45m deal for Manchester City stopper James Trafford, who will become their new number one. However, with Lucas Perri on the brink of moving to Serie A, Daniel Farke requires competition for the England international. Leeds hold an interest in adding Gill to their squad after his exploits for Paraguay at the World Cup. Despite reports in his homeland, Leeds are yet to make a formal offer, but the 26-year-old is seemingly a serious contender to make the switch to the Premier League.
Leeds United's interest in Orlando Gill has been sparked by his impressive performances for Paraguay at the World Cup. The 26-year-old has spent his career at San Lorenzo, but his recent displays have significantly enhanced his stock. Gill has been named in the World Cup Team of the Tournament for his performances against Germany and France.
Celtic make £9m bid for Haissem Hassan
Meanwhile, Celtic are allegedly attempting to add Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan to their squad. The Scottish Premiership champions are said to have put forward a £6m offer, with the deal potentially rising to £9m with add-ons. Hassan, who is 24 years of age, has contributed just four goals from 81 appearances for Real Oviedo across the last two campaigns.

The article concludes with a boost for Celtic's quest to sign Hassan, as the player is keen to complete a move to Glasgow. With the transfer window still open, it is not yet clear whether Leeds United will make a move for Orlando Gill or whether Celtic will secure the signing of Haissem Hassan.
