Player’s agent makes huge admission over possible Leeds United move

Leeds United continue their search for options to add to their attack. The club will see a much different set of players from last season.

Joel Piroe might be the only player from the previous campaign in the attack at the end of the summer. Patrick Bamford is not in Daniel Farke’s plans, and could be set for a move. While Mateo Joseph has asked for a transfer, with his future up in the air.

So far, the club have added German striker Lukas Nmecha. But it looks like the club will add another option up top to boost the depth and quality in the team.

Artem Dovbyk agent speaks on possible Leeds United transfer

This week, reports from Italy claimed that AS Roma striker Artem Dovbyk could be available for sale.

The Ukrainian did not light up the Serie A in his first season with the club. He has now been linked with a move to England, with leeds and West Ham keeping tabs on the situation. But with this latest information, questions over the player’s future seems to have been answered.

Dovbyk’s agent Oleksii Liundovskyi has come out to address rumours of an exit this summer.

“Artem is focusing on preparing for Roma’s new season,” Liundovskyi told La Roma 24. “Right now, that’s all he’s thinking about, and rumours like this in recent days have only created confusion for the boy.”

This is the second time Liundovskyi has insisted that Dovbyk will remain in Rome. He told Il Messaggero  in an interview last month.

“Dovbyk will stay at Roma. I am in daily contact with the management and no one has ever spoken of his transfer. Everything else is nonsense.”

“Gasperini is counting on him,”

Roma striker’s future is uncertain

The striker’s place in the Roma team for next season seems very uncertain. And with the club bringing in Brighton’s Evan Ferguson on loan, it raises a lot of questions.

Ferguson has already hit the ground running, netting multiple goals in friendlies. The writing seems to be on the wall for Dovbyk.

Dovbyk would be a good fit for English football

The Ukranian’s size and structure would arguably make him a better fit for English football. His former boss Luciano Spalletti hinted that he was not used to Italian football. But in England, he would make the perfect target man.

Dovbyk is great in the air, and is a solid finisher. He also attracts a lot of attention in the box; imagine what he would do playing in Daniel Farke’s system which got 19 goals from Joel Piroe last season.
