Leeds United are reportedly eyeing Hosam Aiesh.
Ostersunds winger Hosam Aiesh is one of two of the club’s players Leeds United are reportedly monitoring, claim Swedish outlet Fotboll Direkt.
The second is ex-Fulham trainee Dino Islamovic, who we profiled on HITC yesterday.
Aiesh is also 24-years-old and is a player who has shone even brighter than his teammate during his Ostersunds career so far.
Aiesh was especially impressive under former boss Graham Potter, who left for Swansea, and is now at Brighton.
The winger scored a goal against Arsenal in Ostersund’s Europa League run in early 2018, netting past David Ospina in a surprise 2-1 win for the Swedes.
It was one of five goals he scored in 2018, a year in which he provided 15 assists.
His 2019 campaign has not been as impressive, with no Europa League football to play. Injuries have restricted his game time and he so far has two assists and one goal in six appearances.
While Leeds will want to see Aiesh has shaken off his fitness issues before making a move, his impact for Ostersunds over the past year has been impressive.
His current boss at Ostersunds, Ian Burchall, is not keen for him to leave.
Speaking to Fotball Skanalen earlier this year, he said: “It must be a very, very good bid for him to leave.”
