Leeds reportedly looking to pip Bayern & Ancelotti to winger compared to Arjen Robben after scouting trips – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Everton and Leeds United are keen on signing Wolfsburg winger Josip Brekalo this summer, according to Express Sports.
The Croatian international has been in fine form in the Bundesliga this term, scoring seven goals and assisting thrice in 28 league games.
Bayern Munich and Napoli are also keen on the 22-year-old who has been compared with Dutchman Arjen Robben due to his style of play.
Brekalo loves to cut inside and shoot from distance, and defending against him on his day does not yield a lot of success.
Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa wants to bolster his attack and has already been linked with a renewed interest in Rangers winger Ryan Kent.
Toffees manager Carlo Ancelotti is also looking to strengthen his forward-line following their disappointing form at Goodison Park this term, and Brekalo might be a solid addition given the calibre of suitors he is attracting.
With 22 senior caps under his name already, the younger has been widely tipped to play a staring role for his country at this summer’s European Championships and could attract more suitors as a result.
While Brekalo has mainly featured as a left-winger for the Bundesliga outfit this term, he is also capable of playing on the right, behind the striker and as a number 9.
He bagged a hat-trick in his side’s 3-0 win over Union Berlin over the weekend and could be doing so for Leeds or Everton next season.
