Leeds United have been linked with French striker Georginio Rutter for the best part of a year now, with the player one of those on Leeds' watchlist according to plenty of speculation. Now that speculation has become something much more concrete in Germany, at least.
The Whites are reportedly keen to land the 20-year-old from Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in January, not in the summer as many would have expected when hearing of the link, given Leeds' recent record of January spending.
The Whites made their first signing earlier this week when they completed a deal for Austrian defender Maximilian Wober from Red Bull Salzburg. And now reports have emerged linking them to Rutter in what would be a huge investment.
