Leeds United have been linked with Mo Eisa in recent days.
According to Gloucestershire Live, Cheltenham Town have received a “verbal offer” for Leeds United-linked striker Mo Eisa.
The same publication reported on Friday that Leeds and a number of Premier League clubs sent scouts to watch the 23-year-old hitman in Cheltenham’s 2-1 defeat at Crewe on Saturday.
Eisa, who has 25 goals for the League Two club in all competitions this season, set up the visitors’ goal.
And Gloucestershire Live now claims that Town have received a verbal bid for the Sudan-born marksman, though the report adds that the offer was well below the club’s £1.5 million valuation.
Given his rising profile, the defeat at Crewe might well represent Eisa’s last game for Cheltenham, whose season finished on Saturday.
And it will be interesting to see if Leeds are the team who made the reported offer, though there appears to be quite a bit of interest in him.
Eisa’s haul of 23 League Two goals this season is nothing to baulk at, but HITC Sport suggested on Saturday that his record in the fourth tier alone shouldn’t be enough to tempt the Whites into a move.
In 2016, United spent £3 million on Kemar Roofe after the former Oxford United striker enjoyed a similarly prolific season in the same division but, two years on, the 25-year-old has only netted 13 times in 77 Championship outings.
