Leeds United have reportedly sent their scouts to have a look at the Ostersunds pair.
According to a report from Fotboll Direkt, Leeds sent scouts to watch Ostersunds’ latest league encounter, with both Hosam Aiesh and Dino Islamovic on the Whites’ radar heading into this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are looking for their first signing of the window as they look to go one better in the Championship after falling short in the promotion race this past season.
Fotboll Direkt reports that Leeds had at least one representative at Ostersunds’ clash with Sundsvall this evening to watch both Aiesh and Islamovic, with Aiesh – who made his international debut for Sweden earlier this year – recently confirming that he hopes to leave the club this summer.
Ostersunds had been in poor form of late, losing their last three games and registering their most recent win back in April before the 1-1 draw on Saturday. Striker Islamovic is their top goalscorer so far this season, with four goals in 11 league games.
Meanwhile, Aiesh has contributed one goal and three assists so far this term. The 24-year-old can play on either wing, but has only featured on the right for Ostersunds this season.
If Leeds make a move for either this summer, you would imagine that they would arrive at Elland Road with a lot to prove with the fans hoping for Victor Orta to make up for previous disappointments in the transfer market.
The majority of supporters will be hoping to see players arrive who could immediately improve Bielsa’s strongest lineup. And while Aiesh and Islamovic are two of Ostersunds’ key men, it does feel like it could be another roll of the dice from the Championship side.
