Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United are about to make a bid for Club Brugge star Charles De Ketelaere, who is also on the radar of AC Milan, according to The Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail have reported that Leeds are about to make an offer of £26 million for De Ketelaere, who can play behind the striker or on either wing.

The 6ft 3in Belgium international forward is quick and left-footed and is wanted by Italian champions AC Milan as well, according to the report.

Leeds are reportedly looking at De Ketelaere as a potential replacement for Brazil international winger Raphinha, who has been linked with Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.

Would Charles De Ketelaere make Leeds United better?

In our view, Club Brugge forward Charles De Ketelaere would be a good signing for Leeds United, not just for now, but for years to come as well.

The Belgium international’s versatility to play in a number of positions in attack makes him ideal for the way Leeds play.

Then there is the fact that De Ketelaere is just 21, which means that he can only get better and improve in the coming years.

De Ketelaere scored 14 goals in the Jupiler Pro League for Club Brugge last season.
