# Leeds: Whites interested in signing Romain Perraud

**Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing Stade Brest left-back Romain Perraud, as they look for a replacement for Ezgjan Alioski.**

Marcelo Bielsa could have a busy summer transfer window on his hands, as he looks to make his Whites squad even more formidable.

Leeds have excelled on their return to the Premier League, sitting [10th](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) currently, and the aim could be to finish in the European places next season.

Reinforcements will be required for that to happen, however, and left-back is an area of the pitch that needs addressing in the coming months.

### Perraud linked with Leeds move

Alioski is [expected](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leeds-united-star-alioski-agrees-pre-contract/) to leave Elland Road at the end of the season, and according to the [*Daily Mail*](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9467311/Romain-Perraud-Leeds-United-keen-signing-Brest-left-face-competition-Lyon.html), Leeds see Perraud as a possible replacement for him.

Lyon are also believed to be showing an interest in the 23-year-old, however, meaning the Whites face competition for his signature.

### Transfer Tavern take

Perraud is enjoying a good season in Ligue 1 for Brest, [scoring three goals and registering five assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331466/Show/Romain-Perraud), showing the attacking quality he possesses. In comparison, Alioski has just [two Leeds goals and one assist this term](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/137161/Show/Ezgjan-Alioski).

This suggests he would be a shrewd signing by Bielsa, with the Argentine keen for his full-backs to display lung-busting energy and end product up and down the flanks.

Perraud is also averaging [1.8 tackles and clearances apiece](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/331466/Show/Romain-Perraud) per game, though, suggesting he is also adept in the defensive side of his game, something Alioski has sometimes struggled with.
