Leeds United are considering a move for the winger wanted by Championship clubs

Leeds United have signed a number of top young talents in recent seasons and the Yorkshire club could be on the verge of acquiring the services of another as the Championship club lead the race for little Ukrainian Gennadiy Synchuk.

This summer is an important one for the Whites as they look to set themselves up for the best possible chance of promotion by putting together a squad to achieve that and more.

Leeds have had to sell some of their stars in the last quarter, with the departure of Archie Gray the biggest loss, although supporters will understand his exit.

With the new Championship campaign just around the corner, the Yorkshire club will focus on incomings, with the English club looking to bring Ukrainian Gennadiy Synchuk to the club.

The 18-year-old currently plays for Ukrainian side Metalist Kharkiv and has attracted a lot of attention from England.

According to a report from Ta To Take on Telegram, Leeds are keen on a deal for Synchuk, but so are Sunderland, Derby and Middlesbrough.

Leeds are said to be leading the race to sign the 18-year-old this summer, having shown an interest in the winger since the winter transfer window. It is unclear how much the teenager would cost the Yorkshire club as the Whites are yet to make an official move.
