Leeds United reportedly want to sign Ivan Sunjic.

Ivan Sunjic of Croatia looks on prior to the 2019 UEFA U-21 Group C match between Croatia and England at San Marino Stadium on June 24, 2019 in Serravalle, Italy.

Ivan Sunjic has suggested to Sportske Novosti that he is not thinking about his future amid reported interest from Leeds United.

According to Sportske Novosti, Leeds are interested in signing Sunjic from Dinamo Zagreb in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old defensive midfielder, though, has suggested that he is not thinking about his future and is happy at Dinamo.

Sunjic told Sportske Novosti when asked about Leeds’s reported interest: “Honestly, I do not do it, I do not read websites and media, I’m focused on Dinamo.

“Behind me is a good season, team and personnel, though, clearly, it can be better. I recently signed a contract, I’m just here, I’m just thinking of Dinamo.”

Good signing for Leeds United?

Sunjic is a very good and promising young defensive midfielder who will be an asset at Leeds.

The Croatia international started his professional club football career at Dinamo and moved to Lokomotiva in 2016 before returning to Stadion Maksimir in 2018.

Leeds do have a good midfield department, but given that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will be aiming to finish in the top two of the Championship next season, they could do with a young and vibrant player such as Sunjic.

Moreover, since he is 22, Sunjic will be a very good signing in the long run as well for Leeds.
