Leeds United have already strengthen their defence by signing Robin Koch from SC Freiburg.
However, the Whites are still in the market looking for a new centre-back, and reports coming out of England explained Dinamo Zagreb’s Joško Gvardiol has emerged as a transfer target for the newly promoted Premier League club.
Croatian outlet 24sata have relayed these claims in today’s edition of the newspaper and state ‘the story is not a rumour, but is true’.
It’s also explained the 18-year-old’s potential sale this summer could help Dinamo earn around €20m.
Dinamo Zagreb sealed a 4-1 win against NK Osijek over the weekend and the 18-year-old was left out of the squad for the tie.
Another Croatian sports newspaper, Sportske Novosti, states the teenager missed the tie due to a foot problem and will miss Croatia U21’s September matches.
However, the English club have not agreed a deal with Dinamo Zagreb for Gvardiol’s transfer.
Gvardiol primarily operates as a centre-back, but can be used on the left side of the defence as well.
