Leeds United are both interested in securing the services of Inter Milan striker Facundo Colidio, according to FC Inter News.

The 19-year-old has caught the eye of Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa, who has courted him since his days as a youngster at Boca Juniors.

Inter could offload their youngster this summer. The report claims that he is valued between £8-10 million and ‘direct contacts’ could take place today.

Colidio hasn’t made a first-team appearance yet at the San Siro. He netted 12 goals for the club’s youth team last season and could have a bright future.

He has been capped nine times by the Argentina under-20s team.

Leeds may lose Kemar Roofe this summer. He is out of contract next year and the Whites could choose to cash in.

That would see Leeds in need of a striker for certain.

Following news of reported interest in Colidio, the loyal Whites fanbase has taken to Twitter.

They have been reacting to news of a potential swoop with the majority uncertain of the credibility of Leeds’ interest.

Here is a selection of tweets from supporters after Bielsa was linked with a move for Colidio before the window slams shut:
