Ilia Gruev wants to move to Leeds United in the final days of the summer transfer window, according to a report.
Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg has reported on Twitter that Werder Bremen defensive midfielder Ilia Gruev is “keen” on a move to Leeds United this week.
Plettenberg has reported that Leeds are in advanced talks with Werder to get a deal done for Gruev.
DeichStube has reported that there are only finer details left for the deal for the 23-year-old Bulgaria international defensive midfielder to go through.
Exciting Ilia Gruev update for Leeds United
That Ilia Gruev is keen on a move to Leeds United, who are now on the verge of getting the deal done is great news for the Elland Road faithful.
It seems that it is only a matter of time before Leed bring in Gruev from Bundesliga club Werder.
Gruev has been on the books of Werder since 2015 and has done relatively well for the German club over the years.
The 23-year-old made 18 starts and 13 substitute appearances in the Bundesliga last season.
The defensive midfielder is still young and developing as a player.
We believe that Gruev would be a success for Leeds.
While it could take a while for the Bulgaria international to get used to life at Leeds and in the Championship, he could become a key player for Daniel Farke’s team in the coming weeks and months.
