Leeds United fans react to links with Red Bull Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin

Leeds United are interested in signing Red Bull Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin before the end of the January transfer window.

The Athletic’s Phil Hay claims that the Elland Road outfit will attempt to move for the 22-year-old if AS Monaco cut short his season-long loan in France in the coming days.

Leeds wants another striker, and head coach Marcelo Bielsa is an admirer of Augustin.

The France Under-21 international has struggled to make an impact at Monaco, though, scoring just once in 13 appearances across all competitions.

The former Paris Saint-Germain striker is open to other opportunities given his limited playing minutes, but the Ligue 1 outfit aren’t keen to see him go.
