Leeds United are interested in signing Fortuna Dusseldorf midfielder Ao Tanaka, who has a £2.65m release clause as part of his contract.
The Whites are in the market for reinforcements in the middle of the park after Glen Kamara and Archie Gray left Elland Road this summer, and they have been linked with a host of players.
However, Joe Rothwell is the only central midfielder they have signed so far, so it’s an area they’re looking to strengthen if possible.
And, in a fresh development, the Daily Mail has revealed that Tanaka has emerged as a target, and that this is a deal that could potentially move ‘swiftly’ due to the clause in his contract.
