It is fair to say that Hoffenheim starlet Georginio Rutter has his fair share of suitors following links to Leeds United over the past week - with many in and around the Bundesliga singing his praises.
Rutter, who was born on the west side of France, came through the youth setup at Rennes, but was bought by the Bundesliga outfit in January 2021 and instantly burst into the first team. One goal in his first season set the tone, and he enjoyed the best campaign of his career so far last time out with eight goals in 33 Bundesliga games in 2021/22.
His impressive demeanour has seen Leeds linked with his services due to Patrick Bamford's lack of minutes in the Premier League - just 427 to be exact - a reliance on Rodrigo Moreno and the lack of other options as out and out strikers. With reports suggesting that a bid is near, we have a look at what those close to Rutter think of their star man.
