# Leeds United: Whites keen on Ivan Azon

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) are reportedly tracking Real Zaragoza striker Ivan Azon ahead of a possible summer move.**

### The Lowdown: Azon profiled

Azon is just 19 years of age and is an out and out centre-forward who has been a professional with Zaragoza since 2020. \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-azon/profil/spieler/633306)\]

He has scored [12](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-azon/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/633306) goals during his club career so far and is valued at £2.25m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-azon/profil/spieler/633306), with his contract in Spain running until [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ivan-azon/profil/spieler/633306).

The teenager has been a regular in La Liga 2 this season, and has seemingly caught the eye of Victor Orta, who has an ‘[extensive structure of Spanish scouts](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-underlined-strikers-name-red-transfer-future-uncertain-ideal-profile-english-football/)’ at Elland Road.

### The Latest: Leeds interest

[Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-underlined-strikers-name-red-transfer-future-uncertain-ideal-profile-english-football/) relayed an update from [Heraldo](https://www.heraldo.es/noticias/deportes/futbol/real-zaragoza/2022/05/12/el-leeds-sigue-a-ivan-azon-delantero-del-real-zaragoza-1573901.html), who linked Leeds with a move for Azon.

They claim that the Whites began scouting Azon over two years ago and are ‘monitoring’ his development, with his name underlined ‘in red’ ahead of a potential move.

### The Verdict: Attacking reinforcements needed

Azon has been [described](https://sportwitness.co.uk/leeds-underlined-strikers-name-red-transfer-future-uncertain-ideal-profile-english-football/) as a powerful striker who is good in the air and ‘ideal’ for English football. Leeds are in real danger of dropping back down to the Championship, which is known as a more physical league over the Premier League, so he could be a shrewd signing as the Whites continue to look to bring a number of young stars to Yorkshire.

Of course, there is still a chance of Premier League survival this season, but whatever division Leeds find themselves in next year, attacking reinforcements appear to be needed.

Leeds have [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/kader/verein/399) centre-forwards – Patrick Bamford and 20-year-olds Joe Gelhardt and Sam Greenwood – so throwing Azon into the mix could well be on the cards, especially if the club drop down to the second tier.
