West Ham United could wreck Leeds United’s January transfer window by signing Torino midfield star Sasa Lukic.
Leeds boss Jesse Marsch wants to bring the 26-year-old Torino ace to Elland Road according to a report from Torino Granata.
In fact, it was suggested that Leeds were in pole position to sign the 35-capped Serbia international.
The Whites’ plan to bring Lukic to West Yorkshire may well be blown out of the water by the Hammers though.
So David Moyes has a clear advantage over Leeds boss Marsch…
West Ham could wreck Leeds January transfer window plan
TuttoMercatoWeb reckon that the Serie A side are ready to offer Sasa Lukic to the Hammers.
So it seems like West Ham have real leverage to beat Leeds to the Torino midfielder’s signature in January.
The 35-capped Serbia international is an orthodox central midfielder by trade, but he can also operate in a more advanced role, or even as a deep-lying midfielder.
He started all of his county’s games at the World Cup out in Qatar this winter, and really impressed with his technical ability when in possession of the football.
Lukic has scored two goals in 12 Serie A appearances for Torino so far this season (Who Scored).
During those appearances, the 26-year-old has averaged 1.4 tackles, 0.8 interceptions and 0.8 clearances per game. The Serbian has made 43.7 passes on average per match and has recorded an impressive completion rate of 88.7% (Who Scored).
Lukic is a very solid operator, and he seems to have all of the attributes needed to succeed in the Premier League.
As things stand, I think that West Ham could definitely wreck Leeds United’s January transfer window plan by signing the 26-year-old Serbian ace.
