Leeds United are reportedly keeping an eye on Flamengo striker Pedro, according to Fabrizio Romano. He claims the Whites have been ‘monitoring’ the Brazilian for a prolonged period of time but will have to move quickly if they want to secure his signature before tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Leeds have been in the market for a new striker throughout the summer but are yet to have any success in their search. Cody Gakpo, though more of a winger, was close to joining the club overnight but is instead set to stay at PSV after an offer in excess of €40 million was turned down.
Pedro has spent much of his career in his native Brazil, starting at Fluminense, where he netted 20 goals in 58 appearances. The 25-year-old did have a brief spell in Serie A with Fiorentina but played just four matches before moving on loan to Flamengo.
