Leeds United could move ahead of a number of clubs in the race to sign up and coming Croatian talent Dion Beljo, according to reports in Germany. Bild, a German media outlet, claim the striker is losing patience with Borussia Monchengladbach over a reported move to the Bundesliga side.
It's believes the Germany side view Beljo as a long-term successor to that of French forward Marcus Thuram, who has been linked with a move away from the club this summer. The French international is widely expected to leave Borussia next summer, with his contract expiring in 2023.
The Bundesliga side reportedly made contact to sign Beljo during the recent summer window, but no move would come to fruition. The 20-year old has scored eight goals and notched two assists in 16 league games for Osijek so far this season.
