Dean Jones has claimed Noa Lang is fully aware that Leeds United want to sign him.

The journalist has previously told GiveMeSport that Jesse Marsch’s side could put in a bid for the Dutch winger imminently.

Jeunes Footeux had also claimed that Leeds would have to shell out a £35 million fee to secure the services of Noa Lang.

A chunk of Premier League fans are only aware about the 23-year-old, after a famous clip emerged (via ESPN) of Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag scolding him during a cup game for Ajax.

The Dutchman was heard blasting the Leeds-linked wideman, demanding him to track back for the team during the contest.

However, Noa Lang should also be recognised for the waves he has made since first heading on loan to Club Brugge in the 2020/2021 season.

As the highly-rated forward registered 28 goals and assists (17 goals and 11 assists across all competitions) on loan, his move was made permanent as he went on to have an impressive 24 goal involvements (9 goals and 15 assists) last season as well.

Dean Jones has claimed that Noa Lang knows Leeds United aim to secure his services.

“Leeds are hot on Noa Lang for ages and he’s very aware of their interest”, he told GiveMeSport.

Jesse March needs a player like Lang in side

As Raphinha left Leeds to join Barcelona in the summer, it was always expected that the departure of their most creative player would impact the side.

While Luis Sinisterra has the potential to reach the top, Jesse Marsch’s side need another exciting forward to become a more threatening attacking presence.

The potential arrival of Noa Long would benefit Leeds massively, as his silky dribbling, frightening pace and end product is just what the side need to fully cover for Raphinha’s exit.
