Leeds United are being linked with a move for RB Salzburg and Danish international Rasmus Kristensen. The Danish defender is being touted for a £10million move away from the Red Bull Arena this summer, with Jesse Marsch keen on a rendezvous with the 24-year-old.
Borussia Dortmund and Brentford are also reportedly keen on the defender, but Leeds know they have a growing problem at right-back if their injury problems worsen. Kristensen would provide good competition for Luke Ayling upon his return from injury, having played in the Champions League with Salzburg last year.
He began his career with FC Midtjylland, coming through the club's academy and became a key player during the 2016-17 season. His fine form back in his native country saw Ajax come calling in 2018 and he signed a four-year deal with the Eredivisie club.

The Dane won the Eredivisie title in 2018/19 and won the KNVB Cup in the same season, making 20 appearances at the Johan Criyff Arena. After just one-and-a-half year in the Netherlands, Kristensen moved to Austria and penned a five-year contract with RB Salzburg and has enjoyed a trophy laden tenure.
He's won back to back league and cup doubles and was part of the side that reached the last 16 of the Champions League. Kristensen has made four appearances for his national side, making his debut against the Faroe Islands in a World Cup qualifier last September, he was substituted at half-time.
He had been in line to make his international bow in 2020 but the Covid-19 pandemic but halt to that.
