According to a report in the Daily Mail, Leeds United are leading the race to sign West Bromwich Albion’s Tyler Roberts, with six other sides also interested.

Glasgow Rangers are the other British side who are tracking Roberts, with Graeme Murty keen to bring the striker to Ibrox.

However, Leeds and Rangers face competition from abroad for the striker’s signature.

Marseille, Alaves, AC Milan, Sampdoria and Torino are all interested in Roberts, as well as Leeds.

Leeds have already shown a willingness to sign youngsters this month, with the Yorkshire side clearly planning for the future.

Roberts has spent this season on loan at Walsall, and his form in League One has been impressive – with the talent scoring five times in 19 appearances for the Saddlers.
