Report: Leeds United are tracking Red Bull Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin

According to The Athletic’s journalist Phil Hay, Leeds United are tracking Red Bull Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin as they enter the last week of the January transfer window.

The Elland Road outfit have seen Southampton knock back three bids for their top transfer target Che Adams, and are now focusing on the international market.

Augustin is currently on a season-long loan at AS Monaco, but Leeds will attempt to move for the Frenchman if the Ligue 1 outfit cut short the loan before next Friday’s transfer deadline.

Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa is an admirer of the 22-year-old striker, but Leeds won’t be able to table a formal offer until Monaco agree to send him back to back to the Bundesliga club.
