Leeds United should bolster their attacking ranks by bringing in West Ham United’s Martin Samuelsen.
West Ham have loaned out four of their prized prospects in the shape of Reece Oxford, Reece Burke, Antonio Martinez and Samuelsen until the end of the campaign.
And Football.London suggest that West Ham are keen to keep them all, apart from Samuelsen – who could be put up for sale.
The Norwegian has been sent out on loan regularly in recent times, but is lightweight and may struggle to cope in the Premier League currently.
However, Samuelsen remains one of the most talented players in West Ham ranks in a technical sense.
The attacking midfielder possesses a wonderful amount of dribbling ability, and if West Ham do put him up for sale then Leeds United should offer him an escape route.
Leeds have already shown that they are willing to invest in youth, with many new prospects arriving from across the continent.
And Samuelsen should be the Whites’ next target, as he has so much natural ability.
The 21-year-old may still need refining, but he has already proven that he can be a threat at Championship level.
Samuelsen scored a brilliant goal against Preston North End while out on a loan spell at Peterborough United in the FA Cup, and he has also caught the eye at Burton Albion this term.
Samuelsen has immediately become one of Burton’s most integral creative figures, as they battle against the drop.
The youngster may not be able to make such an immediate impact on Leeds’ first-team, given the quality of the likes of Pablo Hernandez and Samu Saiz.
However, he would give Paul Heckingbottom another option in the attacking midfield position or out wide, and he could be an ideal option for Leeds for next term.
