It is claimed that Pedersen, a former Denmark Under-21 international, should arouse interest from Leeds United.
Leeds United are being linked with a move for Union Berlin left-back Kristian Pedersen.
Bild lists Pedersen as one of a number of players who could move on after a disappointing campaign in which André Hofschneider’s side have again missed out on promotion to Germany’s top flight.
It reports that the Dane “should arouse interest” from Leeds and “must be sold” if Union are able to cash in.
Pedersen – who has played in all but two of his team’s second tier fixtures this season, scoring one goal and setting up three others – is about to enter the final year of his contract a the Stadion An der Alten Försterei.
Leeds are certainly not short of left-backs, although Pedersen has appeared further up the left-flank in 2017-18 and is also a capable centre-back.
Nevertheless, his arrival at Elland Road would surely raise questions about the futures of Tom Pearce (out of contract), Tyler Denton (out of favour) and Laurens de Bock – who has failed to appear in a matchday squad since early March, despite Leeds paying a reported £1.5 million to sign him in January.
Would Pedersen be a good addition for Leeds United?
