Juventus are reportedly willing to loan Moise Kean out, so Leeds United should consider making an ambitious loan bid in January.

Leeds tried to capture the imagination during the previous January transfer window, with Gianluca Di Marzio reporting early in the month that the Whites were eyeing an ambitious loan bid for Juventus striker Moise Kean.

Kean spent the season with Verona, scoring four Serie A goals before returning in the summer looking to make an impact for the Old Lady. Unfortunately for the forward, he has barely featured for Massimiliano Allegri’s side this term, with his only appearance seeing him enjoy a 12-minute cameo against Young Boys in the Champions League.

Turkish outlet Fanatik is now reporting that Juve are looking at loaning Kean out in January and hope to send him to a high-profile team.

So while Leeds may not be playing in the Premier League, the Whites must consider making a fresh move for the striker in the hope that the prospect of sending him to work with Marcelo Bielsa tempts Juventus into sanctioning a surprise deal.

Kean – who was valued at £65 million by agent Mino Raiola in January (via Tuttomercatoweb) – would be a fantastic signing for Leeds if they could get something done.

The 18-year-old is a frightening talent who could play anywhere in attack, though predominantly as a main striker. His pace would cause all sorts of problems and he already has the physical presence to cope with the demands of playing in the Championship.

It is highly unlikely that Kean would be given the green light to make the switch to Elland Road if Leeds made a move in a couple of months, but the Whites should certainly make a bid, offering major assurances over game-time, as he could be a game-changing signing for Bielsa’s men as they look to secure promotion.
