Leeds United transfer news: International midfielder Ilia Gruev becomes latest target

The 23-year-old Gruev is a Bulgarian international who plays in the Bundesliga for Werder Bremen, and is now on Leeds' radar according to reports.

He’s primarily a defensive midfielder having made 122 appearances in the role including 62 for his current club at senior level.

Leeds are still interested in a move for Glen Kamara but are also looking to provide cover for Ethan Ampadu.
