The defender has long been linked with Leeds United and could finally move this summer.
According to a recent report from NT.se, long-term Leeds United target Linus Wahlqvist could leave IFK Norrkoping this summer, so what chance the Whites making another move for the talented 20-year-old?
As reported by the Express back in January, Leeds have been keeping a very close eye on the young Swede, and if he does exit his current club in the summer, what chance Garry Monk negotiating an enticing swap deal that could ensure he wins the race for the player?
After all, Marcus Antonsson was a massive hit in his homeland, scoring regularly for Kalmar but failing to find his form at Elland Road, so Norrkoping may well be willing to offer him a shot at redemption even if the forward dreams of turning things round at Leeds.
While predominantly a right-back, Wahlqvist can play anywhere along the back line, and with a fresh deal for Kyle Bartley looking unlikely following his return to Swansea City, and with Charlie Taylor heading for the exit, Monk needs all the reinforcements he can get.
He appears to have little faith in Antonsson, after hardly playing him this season, and if sending him back to Sweden could secure Wahlqvist it could be the perfect scenario for all parties.
The five-time Sweden international could blossom alongside Pontus Jansson and Leeds should seriously consider using Antonsson as a makeweight in any potential deal.
