Leeds eyeing Torino striker Sasa Lukic

Leeds United are eyeing Torino striker Sasa Lukic.

Tuttosport says the Serbian international is part of the 26-man squad for the World Cup 2022 in Qatar and is one of 11 Serie A players included in the national side - but says that after the tournament, he wants to leave the club.

The 26-year-old reportedly rejected a contract extension earlier this year and tried to force a move in the summer transfer window but was unable to, leaving him to be stripped of the captain's armband.

He was frozen out of the squad for a few weeks before coming back and scoring twice in his nine full matches so far this season.

Speaking to Bulgarian outlet Sportal last week, Lukic said: "I have great ambition and I am sure I'll get where I want whether it's after the World Cup or in the summer."
