Leeds United are the latest team to be linked with Venezia FC midfielder Joel Pohjanpalo.
The striker joined the club from Bayer Leverkusen last summer and ended his first season in Italy with 19 goals and seven assists in 40 games. His excellent form has obviously not gone unnoticed.
According to Corriere del Veneto and TuttoMercatoWeb, the 28-year-old is ‘tempting’ clubs in Italy and beyond. One of them is Leeds.
Earlier reports highlighted West Ham United’s interest. The article then adds that the Hammers are joined by Daniel Farke’s team, Norwich City, and Blackburn Rovers.
Cagliari, in addition to these English clubs, are interested in the player. Gianluca Lapadula, who recently undergone ankle surgery, could be out of action for a long.
Pohjanpalo’s contract is up in two years, with an option to extend it until 2027. With numerous teams interested in him, Venezia, according to the article, wants to be prepared for a possible exit this summer.
As a result, Venezia has selected Massimo Coda as a target and has already made contact with Genoa about a potential deal.
