The Algerian’s demand among the big teams, Leeds to lead the race

Reportedly clashing with both the Spanish and the Italians, the Peacocks are in a full force attempt to pursue Metz’s Farid Boulaya as a summer target. With his contract to terminate within a year, the 28-year-old seems available to pick the route to Elland Road. A new No.10 and a €4.5million grand are a part of Victor Orta’s proposal aided by Marcelo Bielsa for the Algerian professional.

Boulaya last season’s performance, including scoring six goals and added eight assists over 33 Ligue 1 appearances, displays great statistics that can prove a great bargain for Leeds for a nominal amount though still in the air. Club Bruges’ Noa and Man Utd’s Dan James were Leeds' targets after losing Rodrigo de Paul while Freddie Woodman is out of the list to replace Kiko Casilla, choices now limited to Dani Cardenas of Levante and Valerenga’s Kristoffer Klaesson.
