Leeds United have been linked with a move for 19-year-old talent Layousse Diallo.
The reports stem from Italy, with news outlet OttoPagine reporting Leeds are one of the clubs keeping tabs on the player.
So who is Diallo and why are Leeds interested?

Here is a look at five facts about him…
1) Diallo is 19-years-old and hails from Senegal. He can play at centre-back and left-back.
2) He was part of Fiorentina’s under-19 squad last season, where he played 30 times, but was released this summer.
3) Diallo signed a three-year contract with Serie B side Avellino, and has made five first team appearances this season.
4) He was sent off on his debut for Avellino after picking up two yellow cards, and has been booked three times in the other four games he has played.
5) Diallo landed his early chance at Fiorentina because he was a pal of first team player Khouma Babacar.
