Further cover in the centre of midfield is understood to be amongst the summer transfer priorities at Leeds United. It was the area of the squad that was exposed most throughout the 2021/22 season as injuries to Kalvin Phillips, Adam Forshaw and Stuart Dallas outlined the lack of depth.
Brenden Aaronson has been signed to rectify the lack of genuine attacking midfielder, or number 10, but cover in front of the defence is essential. The Whites look to be making positive moves in their pursuit of Marc Roca from Bayern Munich, but Nicolas Raskin is another player said to be on the radar at Elland Road.
Belgian outlet La Dernière Heure have claimed that Leeds are continuing to monitor the 21-year-old’s situation having held a previous interest. According to the same report, Genk, Club Brugge and Lille are all also sniffing around hoping to strike a deal. With just one year left on his contract at Standard Liege, he would be available at a cut-price, especially if he expresses a desire to leave.
