Bournemouth & EPL new boys joins Leeds in the race for Juventus outcast
Despite his torrid campaign, Juventus striker Lois Openda still has several suitors, and chief among them is Leeds United.
The 26-year-old completed a deadline-day move to Turin last summer when the Bianconeri gave up on signing Randal Kolo Muani.
The Belgian has thus far made 34 appearances across all competitions for the Italian giants, but he only managed to score two goals.
Therefore, Luciano Spalletti has effectively given up on Openda, who is no longer part of his squad rotation.
