Amiri must still decide for himself whether or not he wishes to head to Yorkshire. Van Nocks reports that Leeds have tendered an offer more in line with Leverkusen's transfer fee expectations of €9 million. Bayer themselves are looking to sign a player from Championship side Southampton. Die Werkself wish to sign English winger Nathan Tella. The Saints are asking €20 million for the 24-year-old. Van Nocks and others report that Simon Rolfes and the B04 front office have initially offered €18 million for Tella's services.
