Here are five facts about the potential Leeds signing…

1) Prijovic is a Serbia international and current national hero. He scored the goal which sealed their place at World Cup 2018, in a 1-0 win over Georgia.

2) The 28-year-old began his career as a bit of a journeyman, and has played in nine different countries already, which included a spell at Derby County, between 2008 and 2010, but he never managed a first team appearance for the Rams.

3) Prijovic once played under former Leeds assistant boss Steve Thompson, who was controversially dismissed as Neil Redfearn’s assistant in 2015. Thompson managed Prijovic as caretaker boss at Yeovil Town back in 2009 during a loan spell for one game.

4) The 28-year-old has played four games in the Champions League for Legia Warsaw, scoring twice. Unfortunately these goals came in a 8-4 hammering at the hands of Borussia Dortmund. He also managed an assist against Real Madrid.

5) Prijovic has scored 60 goals across the past three-and-a-half seasons, having netted only 29 in the first seven years of his career.
