Leeds United 'weighing up improved bid for Maxwel Cornet'

Leeds United are reportedly considering making an improved offer for Lyon defender Maxwel Cornet.

The Whites have already signed Junior Firpo from Barcelona during this summer's transfer window, but Cornet is also believed to be a target for Marcelo Bielsa's side.

According to OlympiqueetLyonnais, Leeds have seen a €12m (£10.3m) offer for the Ivory Coast international knocked back by the French club.

The report claims that the Premier League outfit are now weighing up whether to make an improved offer for Cornet in the coming weeks.

The defender has scored 51 goals and registered 29 assists in 251 appearances for his current side since making the move from Metz in January 2015.

Cornet, who contributed four goals and six assists in 39 outings at club level last term, has two years left to run on his contract with Les Gones.
