Abdul-Basit Agouda is a reported transfer targets for the Whites, according to Scouts Attending, who listed Leeds as one of the clubs who sent scouts to watch the 18-year-old in action for Noway’s under-18 match against Finland, and the west Yorkshire club have received a massive boost in their pursuit of the youngster today, when he told Drammens Tidende that he has no intention of extending his current deal with Stromsgodset IF.

“I’ve said I don’t want to extend. I will consider other possibilities. I would love to receive more than a few minutes. It is not easy to show what you can do in such a short time.”
