Alexis Vossah has attracted the interest of Leeds United, and that should be exciting for several reasons.

If Leeds are successful in their attempts to avoid relegation this season, a lot of that will come down to the players who arrived last summer.

Jaka Bijol, Anton Stach, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Gabriel Gudmundsson have all played a key role for the Whites in the Premier League, and will no doubt continue to do so between now and the end of the campaign.

Regardless of which division they are in next season, Leeds will have a lot of business to do again, and having been linked with Vossah, it signals that they may approach their recruitment slightly differently.

What would Alexis Vossah transfer mean for Leeds United?

MOT Leeds News exclusively revealed that the Whites want to sign Vossah after his breakthrough campaign with Toulouse, and that is significant for several reasons.

Last summer, Leeds prioritised players either in their prime or with a wealth of experience, with very few players brought in with the view of developing them over time.

As for Vossah, he would be exactly that, despite the fact that he is already a regular in Ligue 1, and having only just turned 18 last week.

The Frenchman would be highly unlikely to arrive at Elland Road and walk into a Premier League midfield, but he would get regular access to gametime.

And if that is the thinking ahead of the summer, it could be an exciting window for Leeds supporters to see their club bring some promising blends of youth to their squad.

What do Leeds need to prioritise this summer?

Adding some youth to their squad has to be a priority next summer, almost regardless of whether they are in the Premier League or the Championship.

The most successful clubs are the ones who plan ahead of potential exits, and signing players like Vossah would be an indication of their willingness to do that.

But outside of that, a new striker has to be at the top of the list of priorities, alongside a new goalkeeper.

Calvert-Lewin has had a fine campaign for the Whites, but the lack of quality after him is worrying.

And in regard to the goalkeeping situation, a severe lack of quality is in that department from top to bottom.
