Leeds United are close to signing Salzburg attacker Chibuike Junior Adamu as talks continue with the minders of the youngster, Megasportsarena.com understands.
With 120 club appearances under his belt at senior and club level, the 21-year-old has scored 49 goals and delivered 19 assists along the way.
Having played in 43 games across all competitions for Salzburg last season, the youngster supplied five assists and scored nine goals, one of which came against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
To further highlight his attacking talent, it was only Dortmund new signing Karim Adeyemi (69), that racked up more shots at goal than the youngster.
The striker also has experience of scoring against a Premier League side when he found the back of the net against Brighton in a pre-season friendly back in 2019 with a finish dubbed “wonderful” by pundits.
The opportunity to reunite with his former manager Jesse Marsch and show what he can do in the Premier League could be a very tempting prospect for Adamu.
Given the clear attacking talent he has, it could also be an exciting move for the Leeds fans as well to see one of Europe’s top young talents at Elland Road.
