Leeds United want the 18-year-old Roma lad, according to reports.
The Daily Mail have reported that Leeds United are keen on signing England-born Roma teenager Dario Meadows on loan.
The 18-year-old midfielder – who can also play full-back – grew up in Kent but emigrated with his family to Italy when he was a child.
And The Mail report that Leeds boss Garry Monk wants to bring the youngster back to his homeland for a loan stint at Elland Road.
Should it materialise, Meadows would be Monk’s 11th signing of what has been a very productive window for the 38-year-old, in his first season with the Whites.
Monk does not have the luxury of time working under an owner as ruthless as Massimo Cellino so it seems odd that he would sign a player so inexperienced – if indeed he is interested – unless the former Swansea boss felt he could certainly add something.
There are only six days left in the window, however, so Monk would need to act fast if he wants to bring in the youngster.
Kyle Bartley, Hadi Sacko, Matt Grimes, Pablo Hernandez and Pontus Jansson have all joined up with Leeds in loan spells so far this summer.
Leeds visit Nottingham Forest on Saturday chasing a third successive win in all competitions, having edged out Sheffield Wednesday and Luton Town in the past five days.
