Leeds United have been linked with a summer move for Jerry Mbakogu.
Leeds United have been strongly linked with a summer move for Nigerian striker Jerry Mbakogu.
But the forward has not been in good form and his frustrating few weeks continued.
Mbakogu was out of luck in front of goal as Carpi drew 0-0 at Cesena.
He lasted just 26 minutes before being substituted with a knee injury, the latest problem since being linked with a move to the Whites.
Mbakogu has six goals this season to his name in 20 league appearances.
Gazzamercato reported Leeds have a provisional agreement with Carpi over a £4.4 million move which they will discuss in the summer.
He has completed 90 minutes just once since February 3, and did not score in the two games he has played.
Tuttomercatoweb reported in mid-February he was suffering with knee pain, and he missed a fortnight of action as a result.
Now he could face a further spell on the sidelines, with the severity of his latest knee injury being assessed.
£4.4 million is a large amount for Leeds to pay, for a striker who has no experience of English football and is only played in a second tier league (Serie B).
Leeds would have really wanted to see Mbakogu go on a prolific run and really kick on.
A spate of injuries and lack of goals is the exact opposite.
