Leeds United are plotting more transfer moves.

Leeds United are considering a move to sign free agent striker Alfredo Ortuno, according to Spanish outlet Diario de Leon.

Ortuno, 26, would reportedly be loaned straight out to Leeds’ partner side Cultural Leonesa.

Leonesa are owned by the Aspire Academy, whose director is Leeds board member Ivan Bravo.

The Whites are reportedly keen that Leonesa avoid relegation; currently they sit 19th of 22 teams in Spain’s Segunda Liga.

Ortuno has scored 41 goals in Spain’s second division in 141 games, and has provided 14 assists.

His previous clubs include Granada – where he made five La Liga appearances, Levante, Mallorca and most recently Las Palmas.

Ortuno was released by Las Palmas earlier this season after being told he did not figure in their first team plans, and is now seeking to find a new club.

Diario de Leon report other Spanish sides are interested, along with Swiss side Grasshopper.

Leeds have one player out on loan at Leonesa at present, Ouasim Bouy, but he has not been a regular.

It was reported by Reyournal this week that Bouy could be sent back to Leeds in January to make space for new additions.
