Leeds United are interested in signing an eight-goal winger with unbelievable dribbling ability this summer transfer window, according to a recent report.
The Whites have been linked to a whole host of players over the last few weeks despite failing to gain promotion to the Premier League.
In order to comply with Financial Fair Play rules, they will need to make trades throughout the window, but it appears they are also actively seeking new players to bolster Daniel Farke’s team.
Having said that, Elland Road has recently been connected to another intriguing winger.
Leeds United is reportedly in the running to sign Excelsior Rotterdam winger Couhaib Driouech, who has some of the greatest dribbling stats in Europe, according to Eindhovens Dagblad via Voetbal Zone.
The 22-year-old wide player scored six goals and provided just as many assists during a successful season in the Eredivisie.
In the Keuken Kampioen Play-Offs, which saw his team demoted to the second division, Driouech also netted two goals and provided assists on another two.
Leeds could be the ideal destination for him as they attempt to return to the Premier League. He will probably want to go during this transfer window.
The Dutch team is seeking approximately £3.3 million to sign him, and his deal is set to expire the following year.
Needs are in competition with
Driouech is apparently being tracked by ten clubs ahead of the window, so Leeds isn’t the only team interested in signing him.
The Whites will face fierce opposition from the likes of La Liga powerhouse Sevilla and Dutch winners PSV.
It’s interesting to note that Sevilla’s sporting director, Victor Orta, was once at Leeds, so maybe he has been keeping an eye on him since Elland Road.
