Leeds United have had a torrid time when it comes down to injuries this season, with a number of key personnel be struck down.
One area of concern is the goalkeeping department, as Marcelo Bielsa has witnessed his side be reduced to just one senior option in Bailey Peacock-Farrell, a man that he is not believed to have been completely happy with recent.
Jamal Blackman suffered a broken leg and returned to Chelsea, leaving just the Northern Ireland international as their main option, which has led to rumours that the Whites could hunt for a new shot-stopper in the winter transfer market.
A scout was present in the Norwegian’s Europa League tie with Besiktas on Thursday night and with a goalkeeper needed at Elland Road, their attention was thought to be on the Russian, who is valued at £360k by Transfermarkt.
The Verdict:
Vasyutin has only just joined Sarpsborg from Zenit St. Petersburg, arriving on a free transfer, which could make a move appear to be difficult.
Leeds have gained somewhat of a habit of bringing players from Europe to the club to try and help them improve their squad.
However, with January still a month away, it could just be a way of the club taking a look at a number of players before the rush of the winter window really sets in.
Leeds fans – thoughts?
