Fode Ballo-Toure trains alone as Leeds United ready brand new transfer
AC Milan defender Fode Ballo-Toure is now training alone with Leeds United wanting to sign him, according to Calcio Mercato.
The Italian outlet reported on 29 July that the Senegal left-back agreed a deal with AC Milan to train alone until an exit is agreed upon.
However, the West Yorkshire outfit aren’t the only team vying for the 27-year-old as both Besiktas and Watford are also looking for defensive reinforcement before the window closes.
Fode Ballo-Toure trains alone before Leeds United transfer
The Whites need to strengthen their defensive line this summer. Indeed, Joe Rodon has already been added but his addition alone isn’t enough.
Max Wober also looks set to stay with the club next season but with just Jayden Bogle being added in the full-back positions, further additions are needed.
One of the West Yorkshire outfit’s strongest areas of their team last term was that of their defence and with further reinforcement in left-back, the team would be near to completion.
Ballo-Toure would add some further experience to the defensive line and perhaps even challenge Junior Firpo for the starting role.
To make things even sweeter, the AC Milan man can even play centrally and could help out in the centre of defence if injuries to one or more of Leeds’ options occur.
All in all, should Leeds act upon their desire for the defender, he would be a stellar addition to the squad.
In other Leeds news, Daniel Farke already wants two more arrivals after Jayden Bogle move.
