According to RTI Esporte, Leeds United, West Ham, Leicester City, and Crystal Palace have all proposed to recruit Fluminense forward Jhon Arias.
On June 13, a Brazilian news site said that the Hammers are leading the race to sign him, despite all the approaches.
The 26-year-old Colombian international is reportedly seeking £12.6 million from Fluminense in order to be sold this summer.
Leeds United will benefit from the addition of Jhon Arias.
Leeds would have a varied and dynamic offensive threat in Arias thanks to his remarkable aerial abilities and flexibility to play throughout the forward line.
Being able to score goals and play with strength and quickness makes him one of the top players in the Championship.
Arias, who is 26 years old, is therefore a long-term investment for Leeds.
His youth and room for development fit the club’s long-term plan to develop a competitive team.
However, considering Leeds’ limited resources, the £12.6 million price tag would be a major deterrent.
Despite this, Leeds is drawn to Arias because of his potential impact on the team.
The Colombian international is someone that the Whites could definitely use if Crysencio Summerville decides to go.
