Leeds have been linked with Stefan Johansen.
Leeds United are interested in a deal for Fulham attacker Stefan Johansen, report Teamtalk.
Johansen is exactly the type of player Leeds need to replace Samu Saiz, who the Whites allowed to join Getafe late in December.
Based on last season’s performances, Leeds would be getting a better player.
Goals and assists
Johansen scored eight goals and provided nine assists last season in the Championship.
This was superior to Saiz’s record of five goals and seven assists.
Experience
Last season was Saiz’s only full campaign in English football.
Johansen starred for Fulham in 2016/17 and was even better than last season, netting 11 goals and eight assists.
He previously starred for Celtic, helping them to two league titles. Saiz is yet to win a league title at any level.
Motivation
Crucially Saiz wanted out of Leeds, and the Whites were sensible to let go a player who had failed to score this season and live up to the standards he set in 2017/18.
Johansen has been squeezed out at Fulham this season and if he head to Leeds, the Whites would get a player who is thankful for the opportunity to play and will be keen to prove a point.
