Leeds United are reportedly chasing both Facundo Colidio and Ryan Nolan.
Leeds United have already confirmed one signing this morning in Lorient goalkeeper Illan Meslier – but they could have more signings to come yet.
The Whites have taken the young goalkeeper on loan, and with Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah a target too, a host of youngsters may arrive today.
FC Inter News report that Leeds are chasing deals for Inter talents Facundo Colidio and Ryan Nolan, an are in a race against time to get the moves done before today’s deadline.
It’s claimed that centre back Nolan will pen a three-year deal with Leeds if a fee can be agreed, whilst it’s thought that striker Colidio would join on loan with a €6million (£5.5million) purchase clause.
Irish defender Nolan has been tipped for a bright future having captained Inter’s Primavera side last season, whilst centre forward Colidio has shown potential as a goalscorer.
Both would be exciting additions both for now and for the future, and would explain a photo that emerged in June, if the deals come off that is.
FC Inter 1908 published a photo two months ago of Lorenzo Tonetti – the right hand man of Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani – at the Inter headquarters, with their report suggesting talks for young Inter players were held.
With a double deal now wanted for Colidio and Nolan, it would seemingly explain that Leeds really are looking at Inter’s youngsters, and a partnership with the Italian giants would be huge.
Whether loan or permanent, signing young talents from Antonio Conte’s side could really bolster Marcelo Bielsa’s squad, whilst potentially giving Leeds an advantage over Championship clubs with such an impressive link-up.
Time is running out for Colidio and Nolan, but if they sign, the photo from June would finally have its pay-off – and open the door to potential future deals too.
