Reports have emerged linking Leeds United with a move for Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi.

Leeds are on the lookout for another midfielder this summer, as they look to round-off a decent window of incomings.

The Telegraph have reported that there’s interest in Malinovskyi, who has been with Atalanta for a single season.

The 27-year-old bagged eight goals last year, including a fine strike against Lazio.

We shared that on Twitter yesterday (@LeedsAllOver), which prompted a sea of responses.

Many fans appear keen for us to make a move for the Ukraine international, whilst Tony Dorigo also delivered his verdict.

The former Leeds left-back is commentating on the clip and has watched a lot of Serie A.

We start diving into the debate with his view…

Like a lot of Leeds fans, I’ve been diving onto YouTube to get a closer look at Malinovskyi.

He’s a creative midfielder, who likes to get on the ball and make things happen.

The Ukrainian plays in similar areas to Mateusz Klich and, a lot like the Polish international, he likes a shot on goal.

Adding a player to our midfield is essential in the coming weeks and there wouldn’t be much grumbling from my end if that man is Malinovskyi.

He’s a seasoned professional, with experience in the Italian top-flight and Champions League.

There’s a lot more to like about this guy on top of his goal against Lazio.
