Leeds United are being linked with PSV Eindhoven’s Justin Lonwijk.
According to Eindhoven Dagblad, Leeds United would have to pay just €400,000 (£345,000) in compensation to sign PSV Eindhoven teenager Justin Lonwijk.
On Tuesday, Tuttomercatoweb reported that Leeds were in the race to sign Lonwijk, but faced competition from Eintracht Frankfurt and Roma.
Fans would be forgiven for not really knowing much about Lonwijk, as the teenager yet to make a first-team debut for PSV.
Formerly of Willem II, Lonwijk has been on the PSV books since 2010, and he has impressed with Jong PSV this season, scoring three goals in nine games whilst picking up an assist too.
The attacking midfielder, who stands at 6ft 2in tall, has picked up 24 caps for the Netherlands at youth level, and looks to have a bright future.
However, his PSV contract expires this summer, and Eindhoven Dagblad now report that a non-Dutch club can sign Lonwijk for just £345,000 due to the compensation involved.
That could be an absolute bargain for Leeds and certainly wouldn’t break the bank, though competition from two European sides in Frankfurt and Roma may mean there’s a real chase on.
