Leeds United are looking to bolster multiple positions as Torino goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic has emerged as a transfer target.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Jaka Bijol\u2019s arrival from Udinese this summer<\/a> and former LOSC Lille left-back Gabriel Gundmundsson\u2019s signing, the Whites have arguably addressed their defensive issues.<\/p>\n

The focus should now turn to strengthening other areas of the pitch, with Milinkovic-Savic seen as a replacement for Illan Meslier<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a round-up of transfer developments involving the West Yorkshire outfit in recent hours as Daniel Farke prepares for pre-season.<\/p>\n

Leeds will have to pay \u00a317.25m to sign Anton Stach<\/a> from Hoffenheim this summer, according to the Sunday Mirror.<\/p>\n

The news outlet reports in its print edition (13 July, page 76) that the Bundesliga outfit are now willing to cash in on the defensive midfielder to generate funds.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been claimed that the Whites have held talks with the Germany international, but Eintracht Frankfurt are also in the race for his signature.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether the hierarchy at Elland Road<\/a> are willing to spend a significant sum to acquire the 26-year-old in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

Milinkovic Savic is confident Napoli will make a move for him in the ongoing transfer window, according to Football Italia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The news outlet reports (12 July) that the Serbia international is prioritising a move to the Serie A champions over a switch to Elland Road.<\/p>\n\nCompetition<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals conceded<\/td>\nClean sheets<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nSerie A<\/td>\n37<\/td>\n42<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Milinkovic-Savic\u2019s Serie A record last season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been claimed that while the West Yorkshire outfit have made contact to sign the 28-year-old shot-stopper, they aren\u2019t seen as favourites for his signature.<\/p>\n

Adam Underwood may have to move on to other targets as he looks to give Farke<\/a> a new number one before the end of August.<\/p>\n

Leeds could potentially be taking a \u201chuge risk\u201d by signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a>, Paul Robinson says.<\/p>\n

The ex-Whites goalkeeper believes the Whites will be taking a massive chance on the former Everton striker, considering his recent Premier League record.<\/p>\n

Robinson feels it would make sense for the West Yorkshire outfit to get someone like the 28-year-old Englishman on a pay-as-you-play contract as a backup centre-forward for next season.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MOT Leeds News<\/strong>, he said: \u201cThe age of Wilson, the age of Calvert-Lewin, you\u2019re taking a risk on somebody who\u2019s not going to score the amount of goals that you\u2019re going to need to stay in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalvert-Lewin, you\u2019re going to have to take a big risk on the wages, and you\u2019re getting a player that in the last three seasons hasn\u2019t done it regularly. If you got Wilson or Calvert-Lewin on a pay-as-you-play deal, and you had another who was going to play regularly, then you\u2019d take that opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I think for them, they have to go somewhere, whether it be a pay-as-you-play deal or not, and prove that they can play week in and week out.\u201d<\/p>\n
