Leeds United are battling to sign Abel Hernandez.
Leeds United are hoping to win the race for Abel Hernandez’s signature amid his pending release from Hull City.
The Whites have been aggressively pursuing the Uruguayan, offering him a lucrative contract.
Now it emerges, according to one report, that agent Mino Raiola has been called in to persuade Hernandez to join Leeds.
If Leeds are successful in appointing big name manager Marcelo Bielsa, their cause will certainly be helped.
If successful, then this will be the first instance of owner Andrea Radrizzani really using his contacts to sign a big name player.
He promised he would attempt to do so back in March, telling talkSPORT he is close to Raiola and could look to call in a few favours this summer.
It appears he is attempting to deliver on his word.
