Leeds United monitoring Union Berlin centre-back Danilho Doekhi
Leeds United remain interested in signing Union Berlin centre-back Danilho Doekhi having attempted to land him in the winter, according to the Daily Mail.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke wants to bolster his defensive options at the Elland Road club ahead of next season, and the Dutchman remains on his radar.
Doekhi is a free agent at the end of the season and the Whites are not the only club looking to snap him up.
Borussia Dortmund also want the 27-year-old but a move away from the German top-flight could appeal to the 6ft 3in star.
The Leeds target is arguably the most dangerous centre-back in the opposition’s penalty box.
He has bagged nine headed goals since his Bundesliga debut in 2022, with seven goals in 34 games this term.
Doekhi has 16 goals in 134 games for Berlin and could be a decent addition to the Whites defence.
