Sport nationLeeds United are reportedly showing serious interest in signing Mjallby goalkeeper Noel Tornqvist in the January transfer window. According to FotbollDirekt, the Whites have been scouting the 22-year-old and have a real chance of signing him next month.
Tornqvist has made 63 appearances for Mjallby since joining them in January 2020, keeping 20 clean sheets in the process. He has also attracted interest from other clubs, including Copenhagen, Genoa, and Sassuolo.
However, Leeds United seem to be in the driving seat to sign the Swedish goalkeeper. Mjallby sporting director Hasse Larsson has confirmed that there is interest in Tornqvist from Leeds, and the price has been set at £1 million.
It’s worth noting that Leeds United already have three senior goalkeepers in their ranks – Ilan Meslier, Karl Darlow, and Alex Cairns. Meslier is currently the first-choice goalkeeper, but he has been linked with a shock transfer to Manchester United recently.
The potential signing of Tornqvist raises questions about the future of Leeds United’s current goalkeepers. Would Tornqvist be brought in as a backup option, or would he challenge Meslier for the starting spot?
Leeds United fans will be keeping a close eye on developments in the January transfer window to see if the club can secure the signature of Tornqvist. With the Whites looking to strengthen their squad, the addition of a talented young goalkeeper like Tornqvist could be a shrewd move.
In other Leeds United news, the club is also reportedly in the race to sign a player who has been praised by Declan Rice. The Whites are looking to make a statement in the transfer market, and the signing of Tornqvist could be just the start.
