Report: Leeds United keen on Frederico Venancio

According to reports from Portuguese news outlet A Bola, Leeds United are showing keen interest in signing Vitoria Setubal defender Frederico Venancio in the summer transfer window.

Leeds United have recently sacked Paul Heckingbottom and are on the verge of appointing Marcelo Bielsa as his replacement.

Whether Bielsa takes charge or not, Leeds should go ahead with their reinforcement plans. Central defence is one area where they must bolster as Pontus Jansson needs a solid partner with him.

Interestingly, Jansson himself has said recently that he would be interested in playing for a Premier League club, and has been linked with an exit himself.
