Leeds United have been given a boost in their pursuit of Mateusz Klich with FC Twente already identifying his replacement.
Dutch outlet RTV Oost report Twente are looking to their former youth team player Joel Pelupessy, who currently plays for Heracles.
The report claims Twente are seriously considering a proposal from Leeds United for Klich, and are evidently facing up to the prospect of losing him.
Poland’s Mateusz Klich
Klich is a Poland international who only signed for Twente a year ago from German side Kaiserslautern.
The 27-year-old has a contract with Twente until 2019. He is a central midfielder who last season scored six goals and provided four assists as his side finished seventh in the Eredivisie.
He has previously been linked by The Mail with Fulham and Stoke, although that interest dates back to 2013.
HITC Sport reported earlier today how Klich posted a photo of himself at an airport, creating mystery over whether he was simply heading back to Holland or could be on his way to Leeds.
