Leeds United will resume talks with Jerry Mbakogu in the summer.
Leeds United have called off their interest in Carpi striker Jerry Mbakogu and will revisit a deal this summer.
Gazzetta di Modena report the move has been put on ice until June.
Leeds sent scouts to watch the Serie B striker at the weekend and held talks with Carpi over a move.
But it turned out Mbakogu may not have had all the necessary paper work to qualify for a move to England and it was not practical before the deadline.
Gazzetta di Modena report that this is likely to be arranged ahead of the summer.
Leeds are keen on signing the striker who has Serie A experience, with a deal costing up to four million Euros.
Mbakogu has scored seven goals in all competitions this season.
Leeds have instead pushed ahead to sign 19-year-old forward Tyler Roberts from West Bromwich Albion.
Mbakogu would likely replace Pierre-Michel Lasogga in the summer when his loan from Hamburg expires.
