A number of non-Leeds United are reacting to reports linking the Whites with a move for the AZ Alkmaar midfielder, Teun Koopmeiners.

The Telegraph claims Leeds are looking to sign Koopmeiners as competition for Matuesz Klich.

The 22-year-old captains AZ and is said to be on the fringes of the Netherlands national team.

As such, the newspaper speculates that a deal for Koopmeiners would cost in excess of £10 million.

And, according to several on Twitter, anything around that figure would represent a steal for Leeds.

Leeds have already caught the eye in the summer transfer window, their first since promotion back to the Premier League after 16 years.

Two Spanish internationals, Rodrigo Moreno and Diego Llorente, and one German, Robin Koch, have already arrived at Elland Road for eight-figure fees.

And Koopmeiners, it seems, would be yet another coup for Marcelo Bielsa’s team.

The left-footed player came through the ranks at AZ and has three years left on his contract at the AFAS Stadium.
