Ruben Vargas transfer update emerges after £17.5m Leeds United development
Sevilla winger Ruben Vargas is in demand amid interest from Leeds United.
The Switzerland international has been influential at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium, but LaLiga will soon have a decision to make on his future.
It was previously reported that a £17.5million offer is being prepared at Elland Road for Vargas, which will surely entice Los Nervionenses to consider it.
Daniel Farke is hoping to avoid Premier League relegation this season, and the West Yorkshire outfit may have to move quickly to secure the 27-year-old forward’s signature if they want him.
Tottenham and Aston Villa have joined Leeds United in race for Ruben Vargas
Tottenham and Aston Villa are actively monitoring Vargas as Leeds continue to work on his transfer, according to OrgulloBiri.
The news outlet reports on 19 December that Sevilla are bracing themselves for a “significant offer” for the Swiss attacker from Elland Road.
It’s been claimed that while Spurs and the Villans have their eyes on the forward, they haven’t yet submitted formal bids.
The West Yorkshire outfit are said to be looking to strengthen their attack in January and have identified the LaLiga club’s star as someone who can help them avoid relegation.
Noah Okafor may be able to help convince his compatriot Vargas regarding a move to the Peacocks, and the forward’s situation in Spain will undoubtedly be one to watch closely.
Daniel Farke should have different priority at Elland Road
Lukas Nmecha’s injury at Elland Road has been a big blow for Farke, with the former VfL Wolfsburg forward finally starting to click up front with Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Leeds have played a 5-3-2 formation in recent matches, but it hasn’t looked as fluid in the absence of the German national from the front line.

Instead of signing a winger like Vargas, the West Yorkshire outfit should be targeting an out-and-out striker.
Someone like Roma’s Artem Dovbyk may be a better option for the Whites to bolster their forward line, but only time will tell who they’ll end up signing.
