Leeds want to sign Jayden Oosterwolde from Fenerbahce
Leeds United are involved in a battle to sign a player Crystal Palace want as Marc Guehi’s replacement at Selhurst Park.
Guehi’s move from Palace to Manchester City, worth a reported £20million, officially went through on Monday afternoon.
The England international will leave a huge void to be filled in the Eagles’ defence, with a player overseas seemingly being targeted.
Leeds are themselves still in the market for new signings before the winter transfer ends, meanwhile, and a three-way Premier League tussle may now be on the cards.
According to a report on Monday evening via The Sun’s Charlie Gordon, Fenerbahce defender Jayden Oosterwolde is a player Leeds have expressed an interest in.
However, Nottingham Forest are also keen on signing Oosterwolde, as are Serie A side Roma.
Palace are said to have ramped up their interest in the left-footed centre-back in recent days once it became clear Guehi was moving on.
What type of player is Oosterwolde similar to?
Leeds’ defence superbly kept a clean sheet against Fulham at the weekend in a 1-0 win that further strengthens the Whites’ survival credentials.
That is not to say further strength in depth cannot be added at the back, though, and Oosterwolde certainly sounds like he ticks plenty of boxes.
