Leeds United are eyeing Atalanta winger Ruslan Malinovskyi.

TMW says the Ukraine international has emerged as a top target for Leeds before next month's transfer deadline.

Leeds are ready to pay €22m for Malinovskyi, however Atalanta do not want to sell.

The Italian club retain concerns for Josip Ilicic, who missed the end of last season due to depression. New signing Alexei Miranchuk also has a thigh injury.

Malinovskyi, 27, played 44 matches for Atalanta last season and scored nine goals with seven assists.
