Leeds United beat Derby to end win drought after hearing £500,000 Wolves demand

Leeds United want to sign Wolves ace Rajiv van La Parra

LEEDS UNITED secured their first win of the season after beating Derby County in today's early kick off - and have been quoted a price in their pursuit of a new transfer target.

 

The West Yorkshire club went ahead through Tom Adeyemi's effort, before a Chris Martin stunner levelled the scores.

But Chris Wood's late goal snatched the three points for United, who remain unbeaten in the Championship.

 

And the win comes as Leeds step up their pursuit of Wolves winger Rajiv van La Parra.

The Sun claim Wolves value Van La Parra at £500,000, with Leeds seeking to spend before deadline day.

The 24-year-old Dutchman joined Wolves from Heerenveen in 2011 and scored twice for the club last season.

 

They have already missed out on Fernando Forestieri's capture from Watford.

The two clubs were said to have agreed a transfer fee of around £3million but the forward refused to move.

"We decided on Tuesday we would not be signing Forestieri, it was clear he didn't have the right mentality needed," owner Massimo Cellino told Leeds' website this week. 

"I want players to show a hunger and desire to come here - but he did not.

"It was not about the money. A player could cost £3m, £5m or be a free transfer, but if their mentality isn't right then I will not sign them for Leeds."
