Leeds United look to be safe for another year in the Premier League, and Victor Orta will be seeking new signings.

The Whites will need reinforcements to beef up Marcelo Bielsa’s squad, and a new left back will be a priority for Orta and co.

Ezgjan Alioski has featured in that role this season, as has Stuart Dallas, but there appears to be a key name on the radar.

Le10 Sport report that Leeds have already opened talks to sign Dijon left back Romain Perraud this summer, though Southampton are also keen.

The 23-year-old has been superb going forward this season, bagging three goals and five assists from left back in just 25 Ligue 1 games.

Perraud looks to be a fine target given his quality and potential, but Leeds will have competition for his signature this summer.

In fact, Italian pundit Gianni Di Marzio has now told TMW Radio that he thinks Napoli should go for Perraud, recommending a deal for the Frenchman.

Napoli are believed to be in the market for a left back, and Di Marzio put Leeds target Perraud forward as the ideal player to fill the gap.

Orta may need to move quickly for Perraud, or at least hope that Napoli aren’t paying attention.
