Leeds United have been reportedly linked to Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Noah Okafor but will have to pay upwards of £30m if they want his services.
Okafor is one of Europe's top young talents, shown by his goalscoring ability and natural passing skills. In 21 Austrian Bundesliga games last season, the 22-year-old found nine goals and nine assists.
He already has six goals and two assists in 11 games across all competitions so far this season including the opening goal in their Champions League group stage draw against AC Milan last week and is now of interest to Jesse Marsch's side.

Speaking to Italian radio channel Radio CRC, Okafor's agent Gianluca di Domenico said any clubs interested in him will have to pay big money to the Austrian club.
“Those who have seen the match against Milan have certainly noticed his characteristics. Do Napoli follow him? I haven’t talked to (sporting director Cristiano) Giuntoli yet. There are rumours that they are following him and that they also liked him in the summer transfer window.
“Salzburg have sold players worth 493 million euros since 2016. Okafor will be valued between 25 and 30 million.”
