Leeds United open talks over move for Serie B midfielder considering Swiss switch The 22-year-old would fetch a fee of £3.5 million.
Leeds are looking to add reinforcements to their ranks and are looking at potential alternatives for players who might leave the club.
Midfield Needs
No. 10 is another weak spot Leeds are aiming to address. Joel Piroe and Georginio Rutter, having said that, are also not all-natural in this part.
Before they signed Okoye, Leeds failed to land former targets Nadiem Amiri and Matt O’Riley.
Potential Move
The 6ft 3in Girma had an impactful season with nine goal involvements, Reggiana are likely to be frustrated at the club.
However, should he leave for pastures new such as moving abroad for the Swiss star, due to the fact they would not collect a fee for him.
Leed’s potential signing faces competition from Watford and Monza.
Its a bit of a risk with the recent knee operation, but Leeds need someone ready to go into the side like Girma.
On the other side, Leeds were beaten by Stoke, and that is the failure of creativity in the attacking midfield, Johan Girma could add this depth and creativity Leeds needs for next season.
