Leeds United initiates approach for Man City’s Yangel Herrera

Leeds United have asked for information about Manchester City midfielder Yangel Herrera, according to a source citing his agent.

Leeds and City are currently negotiating over the future of Jack Harrison, who has spent the past three seasons on loan at Elland Road from the Etihad Stadium. But he is not the only player who could be transferred between the two clubs this summer. Herrera is also apparently on Leeds’ radar.

The Venezuela international spent the past two seasons on loan with Granada. After impressing in La Liga, he was mentioned as a possible target for Leeds back in April.

Now, those rumours are beginning to resurface again. According to LUFC Fan Zone, Herrera’s agent has told them that Leeds have made an approach to City expressing an interest in the player.

They are not his only admirers, so City will have plenty to listen to. Herrera remains under contract with them until 2024, despite never appearing for their first team.

He could yet have a chance to make it in the Premier League, though, if Leeds firm up their interest.

Leeds are looking to strengthen in midfield ahead of their second season back in the Premier League. They require more competition for places and Herrera is viewed as appropriate option.
