It seems Leeds United could be closing in on a move for Pawel Cibicki.
According to Afton Bladet, Pawel Cibicki is on his way to Leeds United and is expected to be confirmed as a Whites player shortly.
The 23-year-old has been linked with Leeds for a few weeks and, if the latest report is true, he will be putting pen to paper at Elland Road before Thursday night’s deadline.
Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen and their director of football Victor Orta have set about significantly strengthening the squad this summer as they attempt to finally earn promotion back to the top flight.
On early evidence, that is a distinct possibility, although the sale of last season’s top-scorer Chris Wood means able replacements are required before it is too late.
Caleb Ekuban has impressed during his early outings, while fellow striker Jay-Roy Grot had a cameo to remember when he came off the bench against Nottingham Forest last weekend. However, those two players cannot be expected to take on the goal-scoring burden alone this season and Cibicki could be an able alternative for Leeds.
The Sweden under-21 international has scored 12 goals in 80 appearances for Malmo and he is equally adept at playing up front or on either wing.
He would be another exciting option to a Leeds squad that is looking better by the week, and the club’s fans cannot accuse new sole owner Andrea Radrizzani of not putting his money where his mouth is, with 2018 looking like a potentially great year for the club.
