How Mariano Troilo has experience beyond his years as Leeds United want transfer

It seems every day Leeds United are being linked with central defenders - and Mariano Troilo is once again on the radar.

Pascal Struijk's exit has certainly set wheels into motion as Daniel Farke eyes reinforcement heading into next season.

Argentinian Troilo has previously been mooted for a switch to Elland Road, but it seems that interest has been revived.

Italian reports have put the Whites in the mix for the Parma defender this summer.

However, if Farke is undecided over which centre-back he wants to bring to Elland Road, as there are many options, one glowing review could help make up his mind.

Although, Troilo is on the younger side of being a footballer, he has impressed veterans of the game.

Why Mariano Troilo may be at perfect stage of career for Leeds move

Moving to the Premier League when you are not quite ready is a risky move, but Troilo may already be able for the challenge.

Over the last, he has been enjoying his football out in Italy but has failed to stake a claim for a second international call-up.

Now, with Leeds in the mix for Troilo, that could change.

The Premier League could be the perfect step for him to set himself into the mind of manager Lionel Scaloni and a former international has already shared what makes him special.

As relayed by Via Pais, former Argentine defender Lisandro Lopez once put immense praise onto Troilo.

He stated that at Belgrano, Troilo was the "star of the defence" and that was while he was only 22 years old.

Although, Leeds have lost an experienced asset in Struijk, despite Troilo's age, his former teammates believe is able to step up to the plate when needed.

Why Leeds cannot afford to be patient

Transfer business at Elland Road has been quite slow, as fans await their first official deal to go through.

However, if the Whites do not get a move on, they could leave themselves short in the market.

Both the centre-back and goalkeeper position are needing fresh acquisitions, and those positions are roles where relationships need to be built.

The Peacocks could very well enter the upcoming season with two new players that have no understanding of their teammates.

And that would be a fate that could remarkably backfire in Farke's face.
