Leeds United are reportedly interested in making a late move to sign Club Brugge forward Noa Lang in the summer transfer window.
The Lowdown: Lang linked with Leeds move
The Whites have less than a week to make new signings, but things have gone a little quiet on the transfer front of late.
One player who Leeds have been linked with buying is Lang, with the Dutch winger impressing for Brugge and once being hailed as a ‘phenomenon’ by Belgian journalist Peter Vandenbempt.

The Latest: New report emerges
A fresh rumour has now emerged, however, with Voetbal Primeur [via Sport Witness] claiming that Leeds remain keen on bringing Lang to Elland Road this summer.
It is stated that ‘there is interest from Leeds United’ in the 22-year-old, but Brugge are asking for ‘an absolute top prize’ of more than €30million (£25.6m).
The Verdict: Perfect late signing
Marcelo Bielsa’s side still arguably look a little light in wide areas currently, with Raphinha and Jack Harrison the only genuinely reliable options – Helder Costa did not prove himself a quality back-up last season and has been linked with an exit this summer.
For that reason, Lang could be a perfect signing, despite his price tag, having scored 19 goals and registered 15 assists in 43 appearances for Brugge.
He would seemingly bring with him guaranteed end product and Bielsa would also be able to rotate his starting lineup more regularly, keeping key men fresh as the season goes on.
