According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United have now held talks over a deal to sign winger Noa Lang this summer.
Lang is currently on loan at Club Brugge from Ajax, but he will join the Belgian side permanently for just £5million after a superb season.
The 21-year-old has racked up 17 goals and 11 assists for Club Brugge this season, and they may be able to cash in for quick profit this summer.
Leeds are keen to sign Lang, and have already started talks to sign him this summer – even if his deal with Club Brugge isn’t technically official yet.
Lang predominantly plays on the left flank but can also play on the right, with his versatility thought to be appealing to Marcelo Bielsa.
Just a matter of days ago, Ajax coach Richard Witschge suggested to Warming Up that there is a certain quality similar to Zinedine Zidane in Lang’s game, as quoted by Inside Futbol.
That’s lofty praise for Lang, who struggled to really break through at Ajax but has now found his feet in Belgium.
With talks underway just days after the season ended, Leeds are moving quickly to get Lang – and that would be a great start to the summer window based on his displays this season.
