New York City FC striker Valentin Castellanos continues to be linked with a move to Leeds United. It comes just days after club officials including Victor Orta and Angus Kinnear were spotted in New York City just a few miles away from NYCFC's stadium with transfer talks for Castellanos.
The striker had been linked to Leeds in January after the 23-year-old has had a breakout 18 months - scoring 28 goals in 43 games in the MLS, and his name is now being linked with a move to West Yorkshire once again.
Castellanos is a player who has had a quick rise to prominence, leading NYCFC to the MLS Cup last season, with a number of European clubs vying for his signature. And Leeds might now well be in talks with the American club, with Orta, Kinnear and Leeds director Massimo Marinelli at Quality Meats Steakhouse on Central Park – just five miles away from New York City’s Yankee Stadium last week.
