Leeds are reportedly targeting Dino Islamovic, once of Fulham.
Swedish outlet Fotboll Direkt report Leeds have sent scouts to watch striker Dino Islamovic.
Islamovic has been starring for Ostersunds, where he has netted four goals in his last eight games.
The 25-year-old is no stranger to England, having previously been in Fulham’s academy.
Islamovic was signed by Fulham in 2012 from Malmo. Soccerly reported that before his move, Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham all showed interest.
The striker told Soccerly that his idol is Swedish legend and ex-Manchester United forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
He said: “He is a great inspiration to me and an idol but I would want to go my own way and be known as Dino Islamovic.”
To date that has been tough for the striker.
He was released by Fulham in 2014 and signed with Dutch side Groningen, where he made his competitive debut, but didn’t manage to get on the scoresheet.
A return to Sweden followed with Trelleborgs, where he finally found the net, and earned a move to Ostersunds, where he wears the number 99 shirt.
At present he is in the midst of the most prolific spell of his career.
It’s not quite Zlatan, but if Leeds landed him, they’d be signing a striker who is finally blossoming into a top level player.
