Leeds United gatecrash chase for Swansea City striker Joel Piroe amid Leicester City and Nottingham Forest interest

Leeds United have reportedly revived interest in Swansea City striker Joel Piroe.

According to The Athletic, the Dutch striker is back on the radar at Elland Road following the appointment of Daniel Farke.

Leeds were keen admirers of the forward last summer, and made an approach on the final day of the window, but were rebuffed in their efforts, with Piroe staying on for another season at the Swansea.com Stadium.

It now seems he's a figure of interest once again in west Yorkshire, although the Whites could potentially face stiff competition for his signature.

Leicester City, who also made moves to sign Piroe this time last year before baulking at Swansea's £20m price tag, appear to be back in the mix again, while WalesOnline understands Russell Martin's Southampton, as well as Premier League duo Everton and Nottingham Forest, are also keeping tabs on the latest situation.

An unnamed Serie A side is also believed to have shown series interest in the 23-year-old, who looks almost certain to leave south Wales this summer.

It's understood he has already informed the club he will not be renewing his current contract with the Swans, which runs out next summer, meaning City will either need to cash in now or risk losing him for nothing this time next year.

Losing Piroe would clearly be a blow, with the former PSV man netting 41 goals in two seasons with the Swans.
