Leeds United are reportedly trying to boost their chances of promotion to the Premier League by signing Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Ivan Cavaleiro on loan – and Leeds fans are drooling over the prospect of his addition.

The Sun claim Leeds are working on a deal to land the 25-year-old on loan until the end of the season, as he struggles for regular game time in the Premier League.

The two-time Portugal international has managed 14 appearances in England’s top flight, but has only started five of those matches. Last season, he was key to Wolves’ promotion into the Premier League.

He played 42 of Wolves’ 46 Championship matches, scoring nine goals and creating 12 more from out wide. His power, pace and eye for goal were in full flow during the 2017-18 campaign in the Championship.

Leeds have been after a winger during the January transfer window, despite already boasting the likes of Gjanni Alioski, Jack Clarke, Pablo Hernandez, Jack Harrison and Stuart Dallas.

Dallas has been preferred in defence, while Hernandez has moved into the middle of the park to replace the loss of Samu Saiz and Lewis Baker. It has seen Leeds linked with Swansea’s Daniel James and Bristol City’s Callum O’Dowda (YEP).

Leeds fans reacted to the news that their club could be about to sign Cavaleiro, and the majority are desperate to see the Portuguese ace move north to Elland Road.
