Leeds United make approach to seal Lassine Sinayoko transfer after Harry Wilson
Leeds United are moving swiftly on after agreeing a transfer for Harry Wilson at Elland Road.
Lassine Sinayoko is now on the radar, with Daniel Farke ready to deliver a new striker to his squad.
The Whites endured a quiet start to the opening week of the transfer window, but things have exploded in LS11 now.
Wilson has agreed terms on a long-term contract once his deal at Fulham expires at the end of this month.
The 49ers Enterprises promised a strong window, and they are proving that and some more already.
Sinayoko is an unknown quantity in the Premier League, but he's more than proving his worth in France.
Leeds make their move to win Lassine Sinayoko race
After keeping Auxerre in Ligue 1 after promotion, Sinayoko is set for the move of a lifetime, it seems.
With 12 goals and four assists, he is said to be one of the most important players in the entire French top-tier.
Foot Mercato has now reported that his form has welcomed interest from the Premier League and Bundesliga already.
It's stated that Leeds and Brighton have made their moves, entering talks with Sinayoko and his entourage already.
Now, it is all about picking the right project for his career.
How much could Sinayoko cost Leeds United?
Signing a new striker in the modern game isn't easy, they either have to be unknown or they will cost upwards of £50million.
Sinayoko fits into the first category.
Leeds would need to pay around £12.9m to sign Sinayoko, and for a striker in the form of his life in a top European league, that could be a bargain.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha proved they are more than good enough for the Premier League last season, after both signing as free agents.
That hasn't stopped the majority of fans wanting another striker option, with both hit hard by injuries during their careers.
With Joe Gelhardt and Joel Piroe likely to move on this summer, Sinayoko could boost the profile of Farke's squad tremendously.
And at that suggested fee, selling two unwanted players like Piroe and Gelhardt could most likely fund it.
Sinayoko is ready for his next move, and Elland Road is surely perfect.
