Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has reportedly set his sights on signing Basel forward Arthur Cabral.

Despite winning the Championship, Leeds sometimes struggled in the final third last season, naturally leading to plans being made to bring in a new striker ahead of their return to the Premier League.

While a number of high-profile names have been linked with a switch to Elland Road, Globo Esporte claims that there is strong interest in Cabral.

Having scored 18 goals during a loan spell from Palmeiras, Cabral has now been signed by Basel on a permanent basis.

Although the 22-year-old cost just £3.6m, Leeds are allegedly willing to spend in the region of £16m on the Brazilian.

Cabral has previously earned one cap for his nation's Under-23 side.
