Leeds United are actively seeking to strengthen their squad as the January transfer window approaches.
The Yorkshire side find themselves in a desirable position, sitting third in the Championship table with a game to play, just two points behind second-placed Burnley and three points behind leaders Sheffield United.
With promotion to the Premier League looming, the Whites are determined to maintain their momentum over the latter half of the season. To achieve this goal, Daniel Farke's team is specifically targeting reinforcements at No. 10.
Leeds United want Alvin Sanchez
Recent reports have linked FC Lausanne Sport's promising talent, Alvin Sanchezwho is currently showcasing his skills in the Swiss Super League with his move to Leeds United.
However, the pursuit of Sanchez attracted many suitors. According to Corriere dello SportNewcastle United, which plays in the English Premier League, joined the race, along with Italian clubs Lazio and Fiorentina. The 21-year-old's price has reportedly been set at around £7.5m.
Sanchez, who came out of Lausanne Sport's youth academy, showed his commitment to the club by signing his first professional contract in November 2020. His impressive development has led to his contract being extended in 2022, guaranteeing his services until 2026.
The attacking midfielder is enjoying a fantastic season, displaying his prowess by scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists in 21 matches in all competitions, taking his club tally to 21 appearances. 23 goals and 10 assists.
Although reports suggest Lausanne could be open for sale, recent prices suggest so Sanchez is not keen to switch clubs mid-season in January.
While Daniel Farke has recently relied on Brenden Aaronson in the attacking midfield position, the German tactician is keen to secure more consistent performances in this crucial role to bolster the team's attacking capabilities.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Leeds can successfully navigate competition from other interested parties, and convince Sanchez to join the Championship campaign with the prospect of playing in the Premier League.
