After initial blow, Leeds now get boost as ‘explosive’ attacker Bielsa wants asks to leave – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds target Josip Brekalo has asked to leave Wolfsburg according to a report from Sport Buzzer.
Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa wants to bring the 23-year-old to Elland Road this summer, according to Calciomercato.it.
Yesterday we covered a report from Alfredo Pedulla suggesting that Lazio are now front-runners for Brekalo’s signature.
That would have been a blow for Leeds but within just 24 hours, the story seems to have changed yet again.
Leeds target Brekalo asks for transfer
Sport Buzzer claims that the Croatia international is trying to force through a transfer away from Wolfsburg. He has alleged asked to leave the Bundesliga outfit.
And if true, Leeds should not hang around.
The Wolfsburg flyer would be an exceptional signing for the West Yorkshire outfit.
The Croatian is a technically gifted winger with impressive pace in his locker. In fact, Calcio Mercato describe the winger as a player who has ‘explosive pace’.
He has a directness to his playing style that makes him perfectly suited to the intense nature of Premier League football.
It was recently reported that Leeds could sign Brekalo for just £17 million (Calciomercato.it). That would be truly outstanding value for the Yorkshire outfit.
With Lazio allegedly leading the race to sign him, however, Leeds must act fast.
