# Leeds: Whites interested in signing Tajon Buchanan

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are in pole position to sign Club Brugge and Canada winger Tajon Buchanan this summer, a new report has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Buchanan appears at World Cup

The 24-year-old was a key member of Canada’s squad at the 2022 [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/) in Qatar, [starting all three matches](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/371027/Show/Tajon-Buchanan) in the group stage before their exit.

Buchanan chipped in with [one assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/371027/Show/Tajon-Buchanan) in the competition, coming against eventual third-place finishers Croatia, and he enhanced his reputation in Qatar.

The winger isn’t [out of contract](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tajon-buchanan/profil/spieler/638793) at Brugge until 2025 but now a rumour has emerged regarding his future.

### The Latest: Leeds in pole position…

According to [*Calciomercato*](https://www.calciomercato.it/2023/02/17/calciomercato-inter-dumfries-buchanan-pimenta-brugge-de-ketelaere-juventus-singo/) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-lead-english-race-sign-canada-international-deal-get-done-around-e25m/)\], Leeds are interested in snapping up Buchanan this summer, with Inter Milan also keen on signing him.

Brugge are believed to be ‘asking for €30million (£26.6m)’ for the Canadian – but Leeds think they could even get him for €25million (£22m).

It’s added that the Whites are ‘in the lead’ in the race as they enter pole position for his signing.

### The Verdict: Strong wide addition

Buchanan’s performances at the World Cup showed what he is capable of and he is someone who could be an astute attacking signing by Leeds this summer.

\[freshpress-quiz id=“418869″\]

He has been [hailed](https://onesoccer.ca/a/tajon-buchanan-earns-praise-outstanding-performance-for-canmnt-canada-wcq-world-cup-qualifying) as a ‘tireless’ player by journalist Kristian Jack in the past and [four goals in 28 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tajon-buchanan/profil/spieler/638793) for his country is a solid return for someone who should only improve in the coming years.

Granted, Buchanan’s performances for Brugge haven’t been too eye-catching, with only [one league goal and assist](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/371027/Show/Tajon-Buchanan) coming his way in 15 appearances, but he is an exciting footballer who could provide Leeds with much-needed attacking depth.
