Leeds initiate move for Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci
Leeds United are showing strong interest in signing centre-half Ladislav Krejci this summer, according to Express & Starâs Liam Keen.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are likely heading to the second division at the end of this season, and Leeds are looking to pounce on the opportunity to sign the Czech Republic international (25 caps).
Leeds are already planning for next season and have eyes on Krejci, who has impressed in the Premier League this term following a loan from Girona that Wolves will make permanent.
There is no guarantee that he will stay after they sign him (ÂŁ26 million fee), with Leeds showing interest. Talks are underway with intermediaries.
Krejci has won 56% of his aerial and 41% of his ground duels so far, helping to keep three clean sheets in 28 league appearances.
Leeds have switched to a back three and stuck to that set-up for most of the second half of the season.
The Whites could use another centre-half in the squad to make up the numbers, and Krejci fits the bill, especially if they can get him for a great price.
Leeds United are interested in Ladislav Krejci to strengthen their defense as Wolves are likely facing relegation.
Ladislav Krejci has 25 caps for the Czech Republic national team.
Wolves' likely relegation may make Krejci available for transfer, allowing Leeds to capitalize on the situation.

Krejci has been an exceptional summer signing and one of the outstanding players in Wolvesâ abysmal season.
Lauded as a âtechnical playerâ, he can also deputise in midfield and has shown remarkable leadership qualities.
He can help Leeds as they bid to retain their Premier League status at the end of next season.
Leeds should also be looking at other names, such as Chelseaâs Tosin Adarabioyo.
The 6ft5 centre-back is expected to be available this summer and would immediately add presence, composure, and top-flight experience to Leedsâ backline.
Comfortable in possession and dominant in the air, he suits a back-three system. He can seamlessly slot into the middle or the right side.
Adarabioyo has Champions League experience and has been a key Premier League defender for a mid-table team, with the potential to start for a top-six side.
He is the kind of signing that doesnât just fill a gap, but genuinely raises the defensive ceiling at Elland Road.
