Will Leeds United step up interest in Ibai Gomez?
Leeds United are on the verge of selling attacker Samu Saiz.
Marca report the 27-year-old is closing in on a move to Spanish side Getafe.
All eyes are now on how Leeds will decide to replace him.
The good news is Saiz has not been a regular first team starter for the past month, and Leeds are on a winning streak.
The Whites also have Izzy Brown finally fit after recovering from a long-term injury he suffered before he joined Leeds on loan.
From a central attacking perspective, Leeds are well covered, and the Whites’ own transfer interest in La Liga winger Ibai Gomez could be the answer.
Goal reported around six weeks ago that Leeds are monitoring Gomez, who is in the last year of his contract at Alaves.
He has scored three goals and provided two assists for Alaves this season.
Gomez played under Marcelo Bielsa at Athletic Bilbao and would have a head-start on other potential signings.
He is a winger, an area where Leeds are short, and could play in the same starting XI as Izzy Brown.
Leeds will be able to offset any fee on the money they will receive for Samu Saiz, and still likely turn a profit.
