What Leeds have that can convince Zion Suzuki to join them over transfer rivals
Leeds United have no intention of giving up on signing Zion Suzuki from Parma.
The Whites have identified the Japan international as the main target to bolster their goalkeeping department.
With Karl Darlow joining Manchester United as a free agent, the West Yorkshire outfit are pushing to get a deal over the line for the 23-year-old playing in Italy.
Leeds aren't the only team in the race to sign Suzuki, but will be confident about convincing him that a move to Elland Road would be the right choice.
Lucas Perri and Alex Cairns are the only two senior goalkeepers at Daniel Farke's disposal currently.
The Brazilian shot-stopper could also leave the Peacocks in the coming weeks, making the addition of someone like the Japanese ace an evident priority.
What Leeds United can offer Zion Suzuki
Aston Villa and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in Suzuki this summer.
Unai Emery has Emi Martinez at Villa Park for now, while Luis Enrique can rely on Matvei Safonov and Lucas Chevalier.
According to Tuttomercatoweb on 16 July, the Whites are continuing to work on persuading Suzuki to Elland Road.
The Parma goalkeeper prefers moving to a club involved in a European competition, but the West Yorkshire outfit should not be worried about that.
What the Peacocks can offer is a guaranteed starting role in the Premier League next season, something Villa and PSG may not be able to.
Carlo Ancelotti is a big fan of the young shot-stopper and speaking to Sponichi Annex ahead of Brazil's World Cup game against Japan, he said, "There is a Japanese player I am following. It's Zion Suzuki of Parma. I am also from Parma. He is doing very well."
Daniel Farke already has alternative goalkeeper target at Elland Road
MOT Leeds News have covered reports of Leeds shifting their attention to Juventus' Michele Di Gregorio in their search for a new goalkeeper.
Tuttomercatoweb has claimed that the Whites have identified the 28-year-old Italian shot-stopper as the main alternative if they fail to sign Suzuki.
Di Gregorio is coming off an unimpressive campaign at the Allianz Stadium, where he made several errors.
The Juventus goalkeeper's arrival would feel much like Perri and it would be wise of the West Yorkshire outfit to avoid it.
