Leeds United's striker search may have taken them in Nicolo Tresoldi's direction.

Daniel Farke is understood be looking for a back-up for Dominic Calvert-Lewin to take his side to a new level for the upcoming campaign.

The former Everton man notched 14 goals for the Whites in the league in a brilliant debut season.

However, the firepower is lacking behind him, so United are expected to be in the market for a new man to help out.

The Germany Under-21 international notched 19 goals and five assists in 40 matches for Club Brugge last season.

If he could replicate that in LS11, it would be a big help for the Yorkshire side as details emerge on Leeds' interest.

What is the latest on Leeds and Nicolo Tresoldi?

MOT Leeds News has already shared the latest on Leeds' search for a new striker, with an update on Burnley's Zian Flemming.

However, a report from TEAMtalk claims that Tresoldi is generating interest and is "one to watch" for Farke's side.

It states that the 21-year-old is keen to make a switch to a club that will get him noticed by Germany boss Jurgen Klopp.

However, they are not the only side in the race for his signature as it is understood that Tottenham and others across Europe are also interested.

Leeds United questions needed as Ermedin Demirovic update emerges

Could Tresoldi adapt to the Premier League?

The evidence suggests that Tresoldi can adapt his game to different leagues.

He started his career with Hannover 96 in Germany, notching 14 goals and six assists in 80 appearances, before his switch to the Belgian side.

The forward has 23 strikes and nine assists in 58 games in his time in Belgian football, which suggests that he knows where the back of the net is.

Whether he could bring that kind of form to the top flight of the English game is yet to be seen, but it looks like he would be worth taking a gamble on.

The Premier League is a whole different beast, more pacey and physical, but the raw attributes are there for all to see.

If the Whites could snap him up before the other interested clubs, it may well prove to be an inspired piece of business from the recruitment team.

If nothing else, Leeds will have a back-up option to Calvert-Lewin who has proven he knows how to find the net.
