Leeds and Burnley in competition to sign Paris FC’s Ilan Kebbal

Foot Mercato understand that EFL Championship rivals Leeds United and Burnley are in competition to sign Paris FC attacking midfielder Ilan Kebbal (26). 

Kebbal came through the ranks at Stade de Reims but then sturggled to consolidate a place in the first team set-up. He spent the 2022/23 season on loan at Ligue 2 side Paris FC before making the deal permanent for €2m the following summer. The Algerian has made 71 appearances for the Ligue 2 side, netting 13 goals and 18 assists in that time. He also netted in Les Parisiens’  opening-day victory over Kylian Mbappé-owned SM Caen last weekend. 

His consistency in France’s second division has caught the eye of Leeds United and Burnley, according to Foot Mercato. The French publication understands that both clubs have made enquiries to Kebbal’s entourage and could, in the coming days, make contact with Paris FC in order to advance the deal.
