Leeds United are considered to be one of several teams interested in the signing of Swedish international Linus Wahlqvist.
Toward the end of last year Leeds United were being linked with an interest in Wahlqvist.
It was reported by FotbolDirekt in September that Leeds were willing to pay around £900,000 to sign the talented defender in the summer.
Brighton and Valencia have also been linked with the player in the past, and he would be joining his Swedish compatriots Marcus Antonsson and Pontus Jansson if he did make a move to Elland Road.

Now reports in Sweden are suggesting that his current club IFK Norkopping may have to sell.
SVT in Sweden is reporting that Norkopping have considered any future sale of Wahlqvist in their financial report, as they will be hoping to make some money off the player this summer.
Leeds United, who are fighting for promotion to the Premier League, may be in a position this summer to tempt Wahlqvist to West Yorkshire and it appears Norkopping would not be standing in the player’s way if that was his wish.
