Leeds set to hijack Genoa transfer

Leeds have entered the race for talented midfielder Leo Stulac.

The goal scoring midfielder is currently close to a move to Seria A giants Genoa but could see his move derailed by the English club.

According to football insider, the Whites are looking to hijack Genoa’s bid in order to secure the midfielders services.

The Venezia midfielder is currently playing his trade in Seria B but could see a fruitful season turn into a potential life altering switch to Seria A or England.

Having only made 20 appearances this season, Stulac has still been able to contribute six goals and four assists from the holding midfield position.

The Slovenian midfielder is strong on the ball and able to not only win the ball back but push forward in order to create chances.

The 23-year old is now out of contract with Venezia meaning the deal would be a low risk move for Leeds, who are attempting to spend smart this summer window.

Does Stulac seem like a good piece of business? Have your say in the comments below.
