Leeds want to sign winger who plays just like Riyad Mahrez before deadline day

Leeds United have been very active in the transfer window over the last week.

The Whites have signed Largie Ramazani and are closing in on a deal for Tottenham Hotspur’s Manor Solomon.

The attacking duo are expected to fill the void left by Crysencio Summerville, who departed for West Ham United earlier this month.

Leeds are also trying to sign Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer and it’s claimed personal terms have already been agreed upon on.

Now, a fresh link has just emerged as the West Yorkshire outfit target another attacker.

Leeds interested in Mohamed El Bachir Belloumi

According to Portuguese outlet Record, Leeds United are interested in signing Farense wide player Mohamed El Bachir Belloumi.

The 2002-born netted seven times whilst laying on four assists in Portugal’s top flight last term and it’s understood Leeds sent scouts to watch him on multiple occasions.

Belloumi, who’s been likened to Riyad Mahrez per Algerie Zoom, was called up to Algeria’s senior squad last year but is still awaiting his first cap.

The Whites certainly have the left-footed wide player on their radar but it’ll be a tough deal to complete with just three days remaining in the window.

Leeds ending the window strongly

Only a couple of weeks ago it all looked very bleak at Leeds having lost a number of their prized assets.

But, the 49ers have led a really strong end to the transfer window and if they can get in a Hamer or Belloumi, it’d be hard to pick against them for the Championship title.

Farke will certainly be under pressure to deliver promotion this season.
