According to reports from Croatian media outlet Tportal, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Rijeka midfielder Ivan Lepinjica.
Premier League giants Chelsea are also interested, while a host of Italian clubs like Juventus, Udinese, Atalanta, Sampdoria and Fiorentina are also in the hunt for his signature.
The Blues have made a formal bid already for the 20-year-old midfielder. Frank Lampard’s side have made a £3.5million offer (The Sun transfer blog; 6th Jan), but it is well below the valuation of £4.25 million set by Rijeka.
