According to the London Evening Standard, Leeds United are rivalling Bayern Munich for the signing of PSV Eindhoven winger Noni Madueke.
It’s claimed that Leeds have made their first move by putting the feelers out over a potential deal for Madueke as they plan for the summer transfer window.
Bayern Munich have done the same though, and so have Crystal Palace as interest mounts in the English winger.
Madueke, 19, has been starting for PSV this season, racking up nine goals and eight assists in 27 games across all competitions.
An exciting right-sided winger with a fine left foot, great pace and real dribbling ability, Madueke may remind some of Raphinha.
Marcelo Bielsa may well want the duo to form a devastating wide tandem, but Madueke will not come cheap.
The teenager was on the books at Tottenham Hotspur but chose to leave the club in 2018, feeling that his path to first-team football would be blocked.
Madueke decided not to stay under Mauricio Pochettino, but could now join his mentor in Bielsa if Leeds get their way.
Madueke started for England’s Under-21’s against Portugal last night, and looks to have a bright future; a future that could be with Leeds if they can pull of a huge coup and beat Bayern to his signature.
