# Leeds: Whites keen on Sergio Gomez

**Leeds United chief Victor Orta is looking at a summer swoop for Anderlecht defender Sergio Gomez, [TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/transfer-news-victor-orta-sergio-gomez-deal-assist-machine-junior-firpo-replacement-exclusive) report.**

### The Lowdown: Gomez profiled

Gomez, who actually shares the same [agent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/seg-sports-entertainment-group/beraterfirma/berater/586) as Whites midfielder Mateusz Klich, is 21 years of age and can [play](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/profil/spieler/366930) as a left-back, left-midfielder or left-winger.

The Spaniard only made the move to Belgium last summer and has impressed in his first season, contributing to a whopping [20](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/leistungsdaten/spieler/366930) goals in [41](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/leistungsdaten/spieler/366930) appearances, mostly from defence.

The [rapid](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/sergio-gomez-borussia-dortmund-who-is-the-barcelona-youngster-pulisic-sancho-471935.jsp) Anderlecht man has previously been on the books of [Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/leistungsdaten/spieler/366930) and appears to be at the peak of his powers with a career-high £8.1m [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sergio-gomez/marktwertverlauf/spieler/366930) valuation.

### The Latest: Leeds interest

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/transfer-news-victor-orta-sergio-gomez-deal-assist-machine-junior-firpo-replacement-exclusive) shared a story on Wednesday afternoon, claiming Gomez is a player of interest to Orta.

Leeds aren’t the only club interested in a summer deal, though, with Ajax, Atalanta, Lyon and Real Madrid all name-checked in the report.

### The Verdict: Smart move?

Jesse Marsch is currently short of left-back options with [Junior Firpo](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/junior-firpo-injury-latest-phil-hay/) sidelined through injury, leaving [Stuart Dallas](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/stuart-dallas/leistungsdaten/spieler/158764) needing to fill in for the Spaniard in back-to-back wins against Norwich and Wolves.

Therefore, bringing in Gomez, who can also play further forward, could be a shrewd piece of business by Orta and co ahead of Marsch’s first full season in charge.

You’d expect that Leeds would need to guarantee their Premier League status to have any chance of a deal, and it looks as if it could be in their financial range considering Gomez’s £8.1m valuation.
