According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United are tracking ADO Den Haag centre-back Tom Beugelsdijk.

Whites boss Garry Monk is said to have deployed scouts to check on Beugelsdijk in action against Excelsior at the weekend, and was left convinced by the 26-year-old’s physical presence.

Leeds have already added Kyle Bartley and Pontus Jansson to their options at the heart of defence this transfer window, and another would surely spell the end of Sol Bamba’s Elland Road career.

Beugelsdijk began his career at ADO but moved to German side FSV Frankfurt two summers ago, only to return to the Hague outfit a year later.

The 6ft 4ins stopper, who is right-footed, has scored once in three Eredivisie appearances this season and is under contract until 2018 at the Kyocera Stadium.

Monk has brought in 10 new faces since his appointment at Elland Road in January, but has continued to reiterate a desire to add more experience to one of the Championship’s youngest squads.

It seems as though Beugelsdijk could be one of his remaining targets, if the Mail are to be believed.
