Leeds United in pursuit of AFC Wimbledon central midfielder Jack Rudoni
Leeds United are one of many teams in pursuit of AFC Wimbledon midfielder Jack Rudoni, according to TeamTalk.
The football news website reports that Wolves and Burnley are also interested in the 20-year-old, who’s also been scouted by half of the teams in the Championship in 2020.
It is understood that due to the rising interest in Rudoni, AFC Wimbledon are bracing themselves to lose their “star midfielder” in the summer transfer window.
Versatile
Leeds United need to sign a new central midfielder – or two – in the summer transfer window while their business could also be ramped up if Kalvin Phillips is snapped up by one of England’s top clubs.
Rudoni isn’t someone who could join Leeds and go straight into the starting line-up – he’d very much be an addition for the Under-23s who can also provide a bit of depth for the senior side.
It wouldn’t be pointless signing him though.
The 20-year-old is extremely versatile and this season has played in his favoured central midfield role but also on the left and right wings, plus as a number 10.
He’s scored seven goals and supplied five assists in his 34 appearances across all competitions for AFC Wimbledon, who are struggling in 20th in League One.
Leeds fans should really expect a busy summer, especially if there’s a change in the boardroom and in the dugout.
And Rudoni could be just one of multiple additions made in an area that really needs ficing.
In other Leeds United news, four players have been ruled out for Leeds when they take on Everton.
