Leeds United are reportedly one of several teams interested in attacker Yohan Boli from Belgian top-flight club Sint-Truiden.

According to Transfermarkt, Qatar side Al Rayyan have reached an agreement to sign the 26-year-old forward and even posted an image of him on Twitter in an airport.

But it’s understood that the deal is not finalised as the player has not made a decision himself about his future and it leaves the door open still for others to try swoop in.

The report explains that Anderlecht, Montpellier and FC Nantes are all interested in Boli.

It also adds that English clubs Leeds, Bristol City, West Brom and Brentford are still fighting for the signature of the 26-year-old.

His current deal with Sint-Truiden expires at the end of the season and it’s unclear on where he will be playing his football int he future.

TBR’s View:

It looks a completely messy situation with attacking target Boli and whether Leeds could pull off a deal for him remains to be seen.

But Marcelo Bielsa’s team definitely need a new striker in their ranks quickly, as they have lost loanee Eddie Nketiah to play a backup role to Patrick Bamford.

Boli has scored 11 goals in 18 games across all competitions this season and his performances have attracted a lot of interest, plus he also has five senior international caps for Ivory Coast.
