Are Leeds United signing Moise Kean? Well it looks like the striker is back on their radar, with Newcastle United also reportedly interested.
The 22-year-old hitman has an uncertain future after an underwhelming loan spell at Juventus last season, netting five goals in 32 Serie A appearances [Transfermarkt].
Kean had an unsuccessful spell with Everton, who have loaned him out, his first club in the Premier League.
However, it looked for a little while that Leeds could be his first club in English football.
During Marcelo Bielsa’s stint, the Elland Road club are reported to have made an offer to sign the then-Juventus marksman as far back as 2018.
Obviously a transfer never materialised but according Jeunesfooteux, the West Yorkshire giants – and Newcastle – are alerted to the fact that the Juve will be sending him back to the French capital.
The report has added, however, that Leeds and the Magpies are refusing to offer more than £17 million for the Italy international.
Both Premier League outfits are linked to signing a striker between now and the end of the transfer window, making this one pretty realistic.
And honestly, it makes sense for Everton to accept even £17 million.
With Leeds’ pre-existing interest, you wonder if Jesse Marsch’s side might have an edge over Newcastle.
