Leeds United are being linked with a move for Huesca’s Alexander Gonzalez.

According to Aragon TV, Huesca playmaker Samu Saiz could be joined at Leeds United by team-mate Alexander Gonzalez.

Leeds have already snapped up Felix Wiedwald, Madger Gomes, Mateusz Klich and Hadi Sacko this summer, but new manager Thomas Christiansen is still chasing more additions.

Having seen Modou Barrow and Alfonso Pedraza return to their parent clubs after disappointing loan spells, Christiansen may yet need more attacking midfield and wide options.

For weeks now, Huesca playmaker Samu Saiz has been strongly linked with a move to Leeds, but reports in Spain suggest that he could be joined at Elland Road by a current team-mate.

Aragon TV suggested today that Huesca winger Alexander Gonzalez could follow Saiz, meaning a double deal could be on the cards for Leeds.

Gonzalez, 24, left Caracas in his native Venezuela back in 2012, and forged a career in Switzerland with Young Boys, Aarau and Thun before heading to Huesca last summer.

Gonzalez – who can play out wide or as a right back – brings pace and goals having hit six goals in 51 games last season, which also notching six assists.

Attempting to negotiate a double deal may just explain why a move for Saiz has stalled over the last week, with Gonzalez – who has 43 caps for Venezuela already – potentially heading to Elland Road too, if Spanish reports are to be believed.
