Leeds United have come forward to Sassuolo talent Hamed Junior Traore, giving Milan some tough competition.
The Rossoneri have been interested in making a move for the 22-year-old Ivorian midfielder for a while now, switching their focus after seemingly losing out on Renato Sanches to French giants Paris Saint-Germain.
As reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United have requested information from Sassuolo about Traore, interested in making a move for the 22-year-old. He’s a versatile player who can play a variety of roles in the midfield, from trequartista to a more defensively-minded role.
Sassuolo value Traore at around €25m and things could heat up soon as clubs prepare for their pre-season training camps.
The 22-year-old Ivorian midfielder scored eight goals and provided four assists in 32 appearances across all competitions this season.
Leeds are preparing to lose talented winger Raphina to a Premier League giant like Chelsea and Traore could be the perfect replacement.
