Leeds United have long been interested in Vålerenga goalkeeper Kristoffer Klaesson and a Whites approach in 2020 was turned down by the Norwegian club.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side still have the 20-year-old on their agenda for this summer as they need to bring in a new custodian following Kiko Casilla’s loan move to Elche CF.
On July 13th, Nettavisen reported the Premier League side have ‘concretised’ their interest to sign the player.
A week later, Vålerenga sporting director Jørgen Ingebrigtsen revealed his side have held ‘good dialogue’ with the English club for Klaesson’s transfer and his manager, Dag-Eilev Fagermo, also admitted he would be happy if the keeper seals a switch to Elland Road.
Dagsavisen have relayed claims made in England and have also taken views of former player and coach, Joacim Jonsson, who is also a football expert for the newspaper.
Jonsson feels ‘positive’ of the English reports and regarding Klaesson’s potential transfer to Leeds he said: “It’s a magical agreement for all parties”.
