Leeds United could revive their move for Noa Lang after securing Premier League survival. 

The lowdown

Leeds snatched 17th place and safety from Burnley on the final day of the season as they beat Brentford 2-1 and the Clarets lost 2-1 to Newcastle United.

It emerged last August that Leeds were interested in Lang, but he wound up making his loan from Ajax to Club Brugge permanent instead.

And Football Insider reported earlier this month that the Whites have held fresh talks over the potential deal.

Lang is predominantly a left winger but he's showcased some impressive versatility in the early years of his career, featuring as a second striker, attacking midfielder, central midfielder and right winger too.

He has three years left on the contract he signed last summer with the Jupiler Pro League champions, and is valued at £19.8million by Transfermarkt.

The latest

Speaking to GiveMeSport on Saturday, journalist Pete O'Rourke said Leeds' fate in the relegation battle would likely determine whether a move for Lang was realistic.

"A lot depends on where Leeds are next season. If they're in the Premier League they might have a chance of signing Noa Lang, but if they get relegated to the Championship, it's not going to happen because he will be looking to play at the highest level as possible."

Now that they are safe, it follows that they may well 'have a chance' of landing the Dutchman.

The verdict

If Lang does join Leeds, it will be intriguing to see where he slots into the side.

He'll certainly be pushing for a starting spot, having combined nine goals with 15 assists this season and making his debut for the Netherlands, a top ten international side.

Analyst Filip Joos has described him as 'the best player in the [Belgian] league', while retired Dutch player Pierre van Hooijdonk likened him to Robin van Persie.

Lang could compete with Jack Harrison for a place on the left-hand side, but The Athletic's Phil Hay has also raised the possibility that he could replace Barcelona-linked Raphinha.

And there's even a chance Jesse Marsch might seek to utilise him through the middle, as he did with Rodrigo and Dan James.

His versatility opens up a whole host of possibilities.
