Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa 'monitoring' Leeds United-linked Sevilla star Ruben Vargas
Leeds United could reportedly face a battle with Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa for Sevilla’s Ruben Vargas.
It has been well-documented that Leeds want to bolster their attack when the January transfer window opens.
In recent weeks and months, the Whites have been linked with a clutch of attacking midfielders, wingers and forwards.
Swiss wideman Vargas is among those believed to be of interest, although has also been linked with Newcastle United.
Ruben Vargas latest
According to Spanish outlet Orgullo Biri, Vargas is being monitored closely by Tottenham and Villa.
Leeds, meanwhile, are said to be working on a €20m (£17.5m) bid to lure the explosive attacking outlet from La Liga.
It is believed the Whites see Vargas as someone who could improve them in the final third and help to keep the club in the Premier League.
Vargas only joined Sevilla in January, penning a four-year deal after making the move from German outfit FC Augsburg.
However, it has been claimed Sevilla could face some difficult decisions when the next window opens.
Potential reunion
If Vargas did complete a January move to Leeds, he would be reuniting with his compatriot Noah Okafor.
The pair have played together for Switzerland but not since the Leeds star’s exclusion from the national team picture.
Leeds United transfer talk
Leeds made an effort to strengthen late in the summer window, targeting Brighton & Hove Albion’s Facundo Buonanotte and Fulham’s Harry Wilson.
The former instead joined Chelsea on loan and the latter remained at Craven Cottage.
Since the closure of the summer window, Leeds have been linked with the likes of Raheem Sterling, Tyrique George, Manor Solomon, Josh Mulligan and Martin Baturina.
However, there is every chance Leeds snap up players yet to have been reported as targets for the Premier League club.
