Leeds United and Nottingham Forest reportedly want Hosam Aiesh.

Ostersunds FK manager Ian Burchnall has suggested to Fotboll Direkt that he expects interest in reported Leeds United and Nottingham Forest target Hosam Aiesh to ramp up in the coming weeks.

According to Fotboll Direkt, Championship trio Leeds, Forest and Reading all are tracking the 24-year-old, who can operate as a winger or as a centre-forward.

Ostersunds FK manager Burchnall has suggested that he expects interest in the Sweden international to ramp up.

Burchnall told Fotboll Direkt, as translated by Leeds Live: “But this interest is of course increasing, and I expect to hear from several big clubs in the coming weeks.”

Running out of time

Aiesh is a very good attacking player, and as Burchnall suggests, there will be interest in him in the coming weeks.

Leeds and Forest need to step up their (reported) pursuit of the Sweden international and have to make a move fast.

There is a chance that the Championship duo may have left it too late already, and if they are serious about securing the services of Aiesh and enhancing their chances of winning promotion from the Championship, then they have to start planning making bids and putting together offers for the 24-year-old.
