@FLRumours: Leeds United have completed the signing of Andy Delort from French Ligue 2 side Tours for a fee of 1 million. #lufc #leeds #transfergossip

Thats from 20 hours ago.

I agree that all speculation and transfer rumours are exciting - hence the rumours thread - but this particular one is, for me, becoming a little OTT.

Anyway, let's hope we eventually get the player.

Reams is not always right, but he is far more than most.

This seems far to over the top for a player who has had 1 good year in the French 2nd division

TBH I think its become less about the player himself and more about getting one over the likes of Leeds, Brentford, etc for some people on here..

His old team Tours FC seem to have the same Nike kit as us, but light blue....looks good

At last something on the CL rumours thread that we can reliably look forward to actually fucking happening Front...

All done now ✌️ I've fallen in love with this bloke already. You watch, deal will fall through or he'll be pony.

Leeds have just signed another forward from Milan. Reckon that could be better news for us and Delort?

He is a midfielder according to my Leeds supporting colleague at work.

Don't we have some kind of deal with AC Milan?

What an incredible time to be alive that was

No wonder Cantona likes him (picked him for his French Beach Soccer Team). Looks like Andy's a boy after A Block's heart!! ;-)

It will be done this week. To who remains questionable...

Holding out for best offer. Fair play to the lad. We'd all do the same.

Callumcafc

Quick someone translate his latest tweets!!!

Braziliance

Yeah he basically tweeted it will be done later this week

Callumcafc

Thanks Richard.

So the dad's account might be real then

Paddy P tweeted a French journalist who has responded saying #cafc definitely interested but Tours holding out for 3mil Euros. Delort trained with Tours today aswell he said

Delort's official twitter and his Dad's account saying the same thing and that the deal is "advanced" and should be done by the end of the week.

Maybe, still don't believe it is. A French account that seems reliable (no OTT bullshit) has said he has returned to training today with Tours and the asking price is €5m. He has had talks with us, Leeds, QPR and Brentford.

@GFN_France is the account if you want to check it yourself.

Interesting that he's gone back and is training today.

Yep, Raimbault told me he was training with Tours today, but that the asking price is "at least 3m" rather than definitely 5m euros. I can definitely see those four clubs as being the clubs, all congruent information.

ValleyGary

How can he be in advanced talks if a price hasn't been agreed yet?

_nam11

To be honest. €3 mill isn't a lot for QPR. Surely we couldn't compete with their package?
Unless RD & Co have shown Andy the future plans of football domination
