How Leeds United can get Yacine Titraoui intel after latest transfer bid
Leeds United have showcased a keen interest in Yacine Titraoui at Sporting Charleroi.
The Whites appear to be in the market for new midfield options this summer.
Attacking additions have been on the table as Harry Wilson has already come in on a free transfer.
Julian Brandt could be another to come through the doors at Thorp Arch as he remains without a club.
Improving in the attacking midfield area is wise, but it looks as if the base of midfield is now on the agenda.
That has seen an offer tabled for Titraoui as the Whites can now learn how much they'll need to spend.

Daniel Farke does have a wealth of midfield options at his disposal moving into the new campaign.
There aren't necessarily anyone other than Ethan Ampadu who is truly happy, and great, sitting at the base of midfield.
That is where the Algeria international could come in as MOT Leeds News has covered interest in Titraoui from Elland Road.
A report from Greek outlet SPORT24 on Sunday has now suggested that the Whites have had a bid rejected by Sporting Charleroi.
Olympiacos have now targeted the 23-year-old who has been earmarked as "one of the top midfielders in the Belgian league".
The report suggests that the Pro League outfit want around £8.5million for his signature, but the Greek giants have only offered short of £6m.
Negotiations are now said to be underway and could surprisingly benefit the Whites this summer.
How can Leeds can benefit from Titraoui talks at Olympiacos?
It seems counterintuitive to see another side making a move to sign one of your targets as a good thing.
That could actually be the case in this instance.
With Olympiacos tabling a bid, Leeds will soon know what sort of fee Charleroi would see as acceptable.
They could then step in and make their presence felt to make an improved offer for the Algerian.
That would be wise and allow a deal to be resolved much easier than getting into some sort of bidding war.
