According to Scouts Attending, Leeds United last night sent a scout to the game between Norway and Finland U18s.
It’s been claimed the Championship side were getting a lowdown on Norwegian youngster Abdul Basit Agouda, who could be available on a free transfer in the next window. The young forward scored in Norway’s 4-0 victory over their Scandinavian rivals.
The 18 year old has reportedly rejected two contract extension proposals from his club Stromsgodset IF, and, should that continue to be the case, it means the player would be available to Leeds United for training compensation.

Agouda is the second young attacker to be linked with Leeds United this week after reports from Poland they are also interested in signing Lech Poznan’s Kamil Jozwiak.
Like Agouda, the Polish youngster has turned down a contract extension offered by his club, and the 19 year old will be a free agent next summer.
Leeds United have reportedly offered Lech €200k to sign Jozwiak in the January window, but it’s been rejected.
