Leeds United will surely be in the market for new signings this summer, and they appear to have been on a scouting mission.
The Whites comfortably survived in their first season back in the Premier League, and Victor Orta will be looking to bolster Marcelo Bielsa’s squad.
An image has now emerged on Twitter showing that Leeds had representation at Friday’s game between Lens and Lille.
Gaby Ruiz was named on the list of scouts at the game, with Leeds seemingly looking into the possibility of signing somebody involved in the game.
Leeds weren’t alone though as Everton sent Habib Bamogo and Nottingham Forest were represented by Yazid Mansouri.
Paris Saitn-Germain, Lyon and Marseille were among the other clubs taking a look, as were Nice, Rennes, Torino, Angers and Troyes.
Lille won the game 3-0 as Burak Yilmaz and Jonathan David fired them another step closer to the Ligue 1 title.
So who could Leeds have been looking at? A couple of players stand out.
Leeds fancy signing Lens defender Loic Bade according to Foot Mercato, whilst the Daily Mail suggest that they also want Lille midfielder Boubakary Soumare – though Leicester are favourites to land a £21million deal.
Both Bade and Soumare played the full 90 minutes on Friday, meaning Ruiz will have seen plenty of them in his trip to France.
Everton also want Soumare, with the midfielder potentially attracting major interest ahead of the summer window.
