Leeds have ‘concrete’ interest in Bundesliga assist machine to replace star Borna Sosa has been identified as a potential left-back target for Leeds United and their interest is “concrete”, according to reports. Leeds are in the market for a full-back this summer as they look to consolidate in the Premier League. Stuart Dallas has played in a wide range of positions and Ezgjan Alioski is out of contract at the end of the season. Therefore, they need to add more competition in that position. One possible solution would be Stuttgart defender Sosa. According to Sportske Novosti and Kicker, Leeds possess an interest in the left-back. The 23-year-old has made 24 Bundesliga appearances this season, all but one being starts. He has provided 10 assists thanks to his forays forward. That makes him an interesting option for Leeds as they scour the market and Kicker have confirmed that they possess “concrete interest”. Sosa is under a long-term contract with Stuttgart until 2025. However, a bid from Leeds may give them something to think about. It is believed that the Whites could afford the asking price. At present, Leeds are yet to make contact but that could change – especially if Alioski is released next month.
