Leeds United are said to be interested in signing Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove in the summer if they are promoted to the Premier League via the play-offs.

Tomorrow is likely to have a significant bearing on what transfer activity Leeds are able to carry out – whether their season ends with another Championship campaign or they move within one game of promotion at Wembley.

Daniel Farke and the recruitment setup will have their work cut out either way to strengthen the side in the summer, hopefully as a top side though.

Leeds are tracking the talent of Roma midfielder Edoardo Bove

A report from Giallorossi.net this week suggests that Leeds are interested in signing Roma’s 21-year-old midfielder Edoardo Bove, a signing that would be much more likely if the Whites return to the top flight.

Bove has been a somewhat regular presence for Roma this season under both Jose Mourinho and Daniele De Rossi, featuring 43 times in all competitions.

However, the midfielder has seen starts hard to come by under new boss De Rossi, suggesting he could be looking to leave soon:

The Romanian player hoped to have more space and confidence from coach De Rossi, who instead sees him as a simple alternative to the starters. For this reason, the young Giallorossi could also think about continuing his football career elsewhere.

Who will win the playoffs?

Edoardo Bove has caught the eye in Serie A as a complete midfielder

Playing alongside Diego Llorente and Rasmus Kristensen, Bove is a Roma fan favorite, having been born in the capital and previously come through their youth ranks.

Seen as a huge talent for the future, Bove’s aggressive style in midfield has been a huge asset for Roma, even though he boasts just one goal and two assists this season.

Bove assisted Willy Gnonto’s second goal in a recent Italy U21 clash against the Republic of Ireland in November, a shot that bounced into the path of the Leeds winger, who headed past the keeper with the help of a deviations.

A real talent for Leeds to take a look at

A regular midfielder for a team as good as Roma is someone who would undoubtedly be a great addition to Leeds should we go up.

If we stay down, we can certainly forget our chances of landing Bove, given that he will likely have other suitors.

Still, he looks like the kind of midfielder we could do with in the summer, given his strengths with the ball up front.
