Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has reportedly emerged as a transfer target for Leeds United.

Over the weekend, the Yorkshire giants announced the arrivals of Rodrigo Moreno and Robin Koch, a double signing which allegedly cost in the region of £40m.

However, keen to further strengthen his squad ahead of the new Premier League campaign, Marcelo Bielsa has seemingly set his sights on bringing in an Argentine compatriot.

According to the Daily Mail, Leeds are in discussions with Udinese over the addition of De Paul, who contributed seven goals and six assists in Serie A last season.

While Udinese are said to be demanding £27m for the playmaker, Bielsa appears ready to give the green light to sign his fellow countryman.

The 26-year-old has earned 17 caps with his national team.
