Leeds United could be forced into action by Wolverhampton Wanderers in the race for Mbaye Diagne.

Leeds United may now be in their last chance to saloon with signing Mbaye Diagne, as Wolverhampton Wanderers close on the striker.

Diagne was heavily linked with a move to Leeds in the summer, but the deal fell through, as ESPN suggest.

And Wolves are now looking to capitalise by bringing the Kasimpasa striker to England in 2019.

Wolves are now in advanced talks over signing the 27-year-old, leaving Leeds under pressure to respond, if they are still interested.

Diagne has hit 12 goals in 12 matches this season, so his form is sure to have caught the eye on Marcelo Bielsa’s side’s scouts.

But even if Leeds do go in for Diagne now, there would be no guarantees that they could persuade him to move to Elland Road.

Wolves hold the upper hand, as they can offer Diagne Premier League football.

And Leeds may be left to reflect on Diagne as the one who got away, if he does go on to impress elsewhere in English football.
