Leeds United are reportedly keen on Ryan Nolan and Facundo Colidio.

According to FC Inter News, Inter Milan defender Ryan Nolan has agreed a three-year deal with Leeds United – but there is no agreement in place just yet for striker Facundo Colidio.

The Whites have sold Kemar Roofe to Anderlecht this week, and Marcelo Bielsa and Victor Orta will now look to reinvest some of that cash into the first team.

Having also lost Pontus Jansson over the summer, a new defender is needed even after signing Ben White – and it’s another youngster heading to Elland Road.

Inter centre back Nolan has allegedly agreed a three-year deal with Leeds, having shown potential with Inter as the captain of their Primavera side last season.

The Irishman, 20, has been tipped for a bright future, and would be signed to compete with Liam Cooper and White as starting centre backs for Bielsa’s side.

The report also claims that Leeds still want Inter striker Facundo Colidio too, but no agreement has been reached yet. That’s corroborated by Tuttomercatoweb, who claim there’s no move done yet, but the double deal could reach €10million (£9.25million).

19-year-old striker Colidio was a highly-rated prospect back in Argentina with Boca Juniors, and notched 12 gaols and six assists for Inter’s Primavera side last season.

The pair may well arrive at Elland Road in an exciting double deal, but Nolan currently seems further along than Colidio ahead of tomorrow’s transfer deadline. If both go through, this is a major investment for the future for Leeds, and fans should be excited with both.
