Report: Leeds United interested in Fran Sol

Leeds United are among the clubs reportedly interested in Fran Sol.

Leeds United are interested in signing Fran Sol from Willem II in the January transfer window, but they face competition from Celtic, Rangers, Derby County and Middlesbrough among other clubs, according to TEAMtalk.

It has been reported that Leeds are among a number of clubs who have checked on Sol, who is out of contract at Dutch side Willem II at the end of the season.

Scottish Premiership giants Celtic and Rangers have scouted the former Real Madrid prospect in recent months, while Burnley, Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town and Swansea City have also been keeping tabs on the 26-year-old forward, according to TEAMtalk.

Good forward

Sol is playing well in the Netherlands at the moment and has been a hit at Willem II since his move to the club in 2016.

So far this season, the 26-year-old has scored 12 goals in 16 Eredivisie matches for Willem II, while during the 2017-18 campaign, the forward scored 16 goals and provided five assists in 32 league matches, according to WhoScored.

Leeds, though, do not actually need another forward in the January transfer window, as they already Kemar Roofe, Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts on their books.
