The Dutch centre-back says the Whites clearly rate him as a player.
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Dutch defender Tom Beugelsdijk in recent days, and the player has now commented on the reported interest to local outlet Omroep West.
Garry Monk has already brought in 10 first-team players this summer, including two centre-backs in the form of Swansea City loanee Kyle Bartley and Sweden international Pontus Jansson.
However, it appears as though the former Swans boss is still looking to further reinforce his options at the back before the transfer window closes on Wednesday.
The Daily Mail claimed earlier this week that Monk had sent scouts to watch ADO Den Haag’s Beugelsdijk in action last weekend as he looks for a physical and towering figure to add to his options.
Now, Beugelsdijk has commented on the speculation and suggested that though the reported interest shows that Leeds are a fan of his game, he is not concerning himself with the talk unless a solid offer is made.
“They seem to think I am a good defender,” the Dutchman told Omroep West.
“But as long as I do not know if they will come up with an offer, it is not interesting for me to think about it.”
Beugelsdijk’s comments seem to suggest that he would have some serious thinking to do if Leeds do launch a serious offer for the 26-year-old.
At this stage it may still be merely speculation that the Whites are even interested, but with Beugelsdijk not exactly stating his intent to remain with ADO, Monk could well be tempted into a move.
