Leeds United 'check' on Lyon star Pavel Sulc along with Everton, Aston Villa, Fulham and Nottingham Forest
Leeds United are reportedly among the clubs who have taken a look at Lyon star Pavel Šulc.
An attacking midfielder, Šulc only joined Lyon from Viktoria Plzeň in his native Czech Republic in August.
He has made a relatively seamless transition to life in France, registering 10 goals and three assists in Ligue 1.
However, it appears his progress could be a double-edged sword for Lyon.
Interest in Pavel Šulc
According to TEAMtalk, a raft of Premier League clubs have showed recent interest in the tricky playmaker.
Leeds are said to be among them, having reportedly shown interest in Šulc before his summer switch.
Their interest is thought to have been maintained, although the Whites could face stiff competition if they do make a move.
Aston Villa are reportedly to be among those who have taken a look, as are Everton, Nottingham Forest, Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and AFC Bournemouth.
Crystal Palace, who beat Leeds to the signing of Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers last month, have also been named as admirers.
Leeds United’s playmaker move
Leeds added a playmaker to their ranks last month, signing Argentina-capped Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton.
He has not exactly hit the ground running at Elland Road but there is still time for him to make an impact.
There is not an option for Leeds to make his deal a permanent one, therefore summer interest in an attacking midfielder seems plausible.
Regarding Buonanotte’s start to life in West Yorkshire, Whites legend Tony Dorigo told The Yorkshire Post: “I think what's clear is that when you have a competitive squad, you have to play well to stay in the team.
“I think any successful team, whether you're trying to stay up or whether you want to win a championship, you need that competitiveness.
“I think what Facundo brings to the party is something that we haven't got, so that's why it's really important for him to get integrated as quickly as we can.”
