Leeds United surprisingly linked to Uruguay international – Whites ‘monitoring’ fullback

Leeds United fans may be hearing some rumours from Brazil saying the Whites are interested signing Joaquin Piquerez from Palmeiras.

It’s been said that the Whites, as well as other English clubs, and some sides from France, have been monitoring the 25-year-old.

Even though Piquerez has been doing great for Palmeiras, we’d say it’s better to wait for major media outlets to report Leeds’ interest before buying that.

One of the stories we’ve seen comes from Diego Firmino on Twitter, as well as other accounts on social media, and those are really not the most reliable sources out there.

Piquerez was one of the players who stood out in Palmeiras’ big 5-0 win over São Paulo on Wednesday evening, and since then, there have been many rumours about European clubs wanting him all of a sudden.

The player has been doing well for Palmeiras for a couple of seasons, and it’d be strange that those clubs only become interested in him just after the window closed.

So even though Leeds’ interest wouldn’t be shocking, we better hold up a little until something more reliable comes out.
