Leeds United are interested in Mo Eisa, who they will reportedly scout today.

According to Gloucestershire Live, Leeds United will be among the teams scouting Mo Eisa in Cheltenham Town’s trip to Crewe Alexandra today.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed a phenomenal first season in professional football, netting 25 goals overall – including 23 in League Two.

In doing so, Eisa has courted plenty of interest and Gloucestershire Live report that Leeds, along with Premier League clubs, will have scouts in attendance in Crewe to analyse him up close.

It goes on to claim that Town could demand over £1 million for his signature, which would treble Cheltenham’s all-time record sale after Steven Gillespie’s departure in 2008, the report adds.

Underwhelming link?

Signing the Sudan-born striker, who moved to London at the age of nine, wouldn’t go down well with Leeds fans, unless much bigger names also arrived in West Yorkshire this summer.

It’s been a pretty dreadful Championship season for the Whites and supporters will be desperate to see quite a few tried-and-tested names get signed up before unknown quantities.

The news about scouting Eisa comes a couple of days after Sky Sports claimed that Crusaders winger Gavin Whyte was on their radar, and until some more high-profile names are linked with United, fans are unlikely to be happy.
