Leeds United have identified Sunderland midfielder Sebastian Larsson as a potential January transfer target.

Swedish publication Expressen is reporting the Championship club are interested in taking Larsson on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 30-year-old has made 11 Premier League appearances for the Black Cats this campaign, but has been sidelined with a knee injury for the past month.

It is understood Larsson is looking for more regular first team action as he looks to remain in Sweden's plans for this summer's Euro2016.
