According to HITC, Leeds United is one of the clubs interested in signing Udinese star Festy Ebosele during the summer transfer window.
On Friday (23 February), the news agency stated on its website that the Whites, as well as Premier League club Tottenham, are interested in the Republic of Ireland international following his performances for the Serie A club this season.
According to the report, the 21-year-old right-back, whom Wayne Rooney claimed might be a “superstar” while managing him at Derby County, is currently one of Italy’s top young players.
Leeds United face a battle to sign Festy Ebosele.
It’s evident that Ebosele is a highly sought-after player right now, and it may be difficult to land a deal for him this summer.
While Leeds are an appealing option for young players, the fact that Tottenham, West Ham, Everton, Watford, and promotion rivals Southampton are also keen means their offer will have to stand out.
It appears extremely improbable that the Whites will be able to sign him if they do not win promotion this season, which adds to their motivation.
