Leeds United came to check out the Champions League talent who threatened Manchester City earlier this season.
Leeds take a serious look at UCL star players
Los Blancos are still not safe in the Premier League. There is still work to be done with nine games left in the hope that the three-point difference is finally enough to secure a top-flight spot.
Of course it will survive. Daniel Farke has gone from being a man under pressure to being a man responsible for changing the people of Elland Road. The German’s decision to switch to a 5-4-1 system proved to be a genius move and the catalyst for Leeds’ turnaround.
With the Leeds side set to face Crystal Palace next, the Leeds manager has the perfect opportunity to get his team back on a winning streak in the Premier League after a four-game winless run.

If nothing changes between now and the final game of the season, Leeds will have no choice but to brace themselves against West Ham, who are currently in the relegation zone and three points behind the Whites.
Survival will be an important step for everyone involved at Elland Road. That would put an end to the recent trend of promoted teams plummeting downwards, and Sunderland are also contributing in that department.
And that would also open the door to some impressive reinforcements. This could mean bringing in players like Troy Parrott and Champions League stars.
According to TeamTalk, Leeds officials visited to give Jens Petter Hauge a hard look after Bodø/Glimt’s team defeated Sporting Club in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Hauge got the redemption he deserved in Norway
Hauge’s comeback was unexpected for AC Milan and Eintracht Frankfurt, who had underperformed in Italy and Germany, but Bodø/Glimt won’t be complaining.
Three years after leaving Leeds in fiasco, £20m star is better than Ampadu
Ethan Ampadu has become a good player, but it wasn’t that long ago that Leeds United now let go of an even better player.
The seven-goal attacker, who can play on both wings and in a No. 10 role, has performed admirably for the Norwegian team since his return and is currently heading towards the Champions League quarter-finals.
Bodo’s 3-0 win over Sporting in midweek was just the latest in a string of impressive results. Before that, they eliminated Inter Milan from the competition and defeated Josep Guardiola’s Man City side in the league.
Hauge dominated the game, scoring one of his team’s three goals, creating three chances and also winning six tackles as Man City suffered a shock loss in Norway. He was everywhere.
Since then, he has also scored a goal against Inter and provided an assist against Sporting. If his recent form hasn’t been enough to convince Leeds to move on, few will. He would be a great signing.
