Three Championship clubs: Leeds United, Nottingham Forest and Reading, all reportedly want to sign Ostersunds’ Sweden international Hosam Aiesh.
Nottingham Forest and Reading have shown ‘concrete interest’ in signing Hosam Aiesh this summer, according to Fotboll Direkt, while Ostersunds’ press officer has confirmed that Leeds United are watching the highly-rated forward, too.
The Gothenburg-born 24-year-old who made his debut for the Swedish national team earlier this year, and it seems only a matter of time before Aiesh bids farewell to the Allsvenskan with interest on the rise.
Fotboll Direkt claimed over the weekend that Leeds sent scouts to watch the right-winger, and his Ostersunds team-mate Dino Islamovic, during the 1-1 draw against Sundsvall recently.
And the club’s press officer has now admitted to the publication that Leeds are indeed keen with Marcelo Bielsa himself apparently travelling to Sweden to watch the duo in action.
“It is true that Leeds (were at the Jamtkraft Arena),” the press officer said.
Interestingly, Leeds face a challenge for Aiesh in particular with the report adding that two more Championship clubs, Nottingham Forest and Reading, are interested in a player who scored four times for Ostersunds in the 2018 season.
Reading apparently see Aiesh, who is valued at £1.7 million, as a replacement for Modou Barrow.
