Leeds United reportedly want Newcastle United’s Yasin Ben El-Mhanni.
Yasin Ben El-Mhanni is leaving Newcastle United this summer, and Leeds United are reportedly interested, but could Marcelo Bielsa’s side really secure the services of the winger also linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers, Watford and Sporting Lisbon?
According to The Daily Mail, El-Mhanni will be a free agent this summer, with Leeds, Wolves, Watford and Sporting interested in signing the 22-year-old winger.
The youngster may have failed to make an impact at the Magpies, but there is no doubt that he has potential, which is reflected in four major clubs (reportedly) interested in him.
With (reported) interest from Premier League duo Wolves and Watford and Portuguese giants Sporting, could Leeds, who have not played in the top flight of English football since 2004, really tempt El-Mhanni to Elland Road?
After all, playing in the Premier League is a dream for most footballers, and El-Mhanni would love the chance to turn out in the most popular domestic league in the world.
Would El-Mhanni really be interested in signing for a Leeds team who will be aiming to clinch a Championship playoff spot next season?
One factor, though, that could be an advantage for Leeds is El-Mhann’s experience at Newcastle.
Having failed to play a league match for the Magpies, the youngster could be aware of moving to a top-flight club where competition for chances would be fierce and the chance to progress may not be great.
