Fiorentina reportedly don't consider selling Erick Pulgar, who has been targeted by Leeds in a double swoop including Valentin Eysseric.

Sky Sport Italia reports the Viola are not considering to part ways with the Chilean midfielder Pulgar, even if he has only started four times in Serie A this term.

The 26-year-old Chile international, capped 24 times by his nation, moved to Fiorentina from Bologna in August 2019 for a reported €10m.

Pulgar has appeared 53 times for the Viola, contributing seven goals and eight assists in the process, and has played 147 games since his move to Serie A in 2015.

Leeds have been linked with the South American and could try to get both him and Eysseric in a double swoop.

But the broadcaster has revealed the Florence club is not prepared to sell Pulgar this winter.

Eysseric, on the other hand, has only just started getting minutes at the Artemio Franchi and has played four games since Cesare Prandelli replaced Beppe Iachini at the helm.

The French attacker arrived from OGC Nice in August 2017 but was loaned out six months later to FC Nantes.

He then returned to spend another six months at the Viola before being loaned out to Hellas Verona for the second part of 2019-20.

The 28-year-old’s contract expires in June 2022 and he only played six times at Verona during his six months at the Bentegodi.

Eysseric has played 39 competitive games for Fiorentina and 41 in Serie A since his move to Italy.

His future could depend on Prandelli, who has given him a chance to impress in recent months. His last appearance came against Lazio this week, when he played 52 minutes of the 2-1 defeat at the Olimpico.
