Leeds United are reportedly keen on signing Sassuolo midfielder Hamed Junior Traore this summer. The 22-year-old has caught the eye with his performances in Serie A and according to Gazzetta dello Sport, as per Sport Witness, the Whites are keeping tabs on his situation.
However, the report claims Leeds aren’t the only team interested in Traore this summer, with Italian champions AC Milan also keen on signing the Ivory Coast international. It is also said Sassuolo, who signed Traore on a permanent deal from Empoli last summer, would be willing to sell him but they will only entertain offers of more than €25million (£21.47m).
Leeds are showing plenty of ambition this summer, with the signings of Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca already secure and they are expected to make more signings as the transfer window rolls on in a bid to help Jesse Marsch make his mark at Elland Road. Traore is an attacking midfielder by trade, but last season most of his appearances came either in a deeper centre midfielder spot or on the left wing.
