It&#8217;s no secret that they need more depth on the offensive line. The 28-year-old could play an important role for them.<\/p>\n<p>Dobvik has also been linked with Newcastle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Roma_want_to_sell_Artyom_Dovvik\"><\/span>Roma want to sell Artyom Dovvik<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Roma are reportedly close to signing Giacomo Raspadori and are therefore prepared to let the Ukrainian player go. According to TMW, Sunderland, along with Leeds United, are monitoring his situation closely. It will be interesting to see which of the two English clubs can sign him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League and need more quality if they are to survive. Adding another goalscorer to the team would be ideal.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dovbyk_may_make_a_move\"><\/span>Dovbyk may make a move<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artem Dovvik playing for Roma (Photo by Francesco Pecoraro\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p1\">However, the player would also be attracted to the idea of \u200b\u200ba move to the Premier League. He is at the peak of his career and it is the perfect time to take on a new challenge. He is not wanted by Italian clubs, so it would make sense for him to move and join a club where he will get regular chances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Leeds United have been overly reliant on Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, the former Everton striker needs more support in attack. Signing the Ukrainian could help Leeds move up in the final third.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It remains to be seen whether they can follow through with Sunderland&#8217;s signature win. The Black Cats have performed very well since being promoted to the Premier League. They are aiming for a place in the top half this season and the Ukrainian striker could be tempted to join them.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leeds are looking to strengthen their midfield in 2026 (Photo by Dan Istitene\/Getty Images) Leeds United are interested in signing AS Roma striker Artem Dovvik.
