Leeds United are reportedly keen on Sasa Kalajdzic.
Leeds United’s promotion push took a major dent over Easter, losing to both Wigan Athletic and Brentford as Sheffield United leapfrogged them into second place.
The Whites may now face a play-off campaign, and whilst their fate isn’t yet known, they’re already being linked with a potential new signing for the summer.
The Daily Mail claim that Leeds are watching Admira Wacker striker Sasa Kalajdzic, but would face competition from Crystal Palace, Espanyol, Genk, Nice and Red Bull Salzburg.
Some Leeds fans may not be too familiar with Kalajdzic, so here are five things to know about the centre forward…
1. Kalazdjic, 21, started out his career with SR Donaufeld Wien, and earned a 2016 move to Admira Wacker, initially heading into their B team.
2. After 10 goals in 27 outings, Kalazdjic was promoted to the first team, and he’s enjoyed a superb season with six goals and three assists in 10 games.
3. Kalajdzic stands at a gigantic 6ft 7in tall, and whilst he’s mostly used as a target man, he does have some history of playing in central midfield too.
4. The youngster hasn’t yet earned a first cap for Austria’s senior side, but picked up three caps for the Under-21’s, with no goal to his name just yet.
5. Kalajdzic is out of contract in 2020, meaning Admira may be forced to cash in this summer while they still can – which would certainly play into Leeds’ hands.
