The Championship leader, Leeds, is showing interest in Krasnodar midfielder Eduard Spertsyan. Leeds is ready to make an offer for the 24-year-old attacking midfielder, according to insider Karp.
The Peacocks' head coach, Daniel Farke, is familiar with Spertsyan from their time together at Krasnodar and is personally interested in his transfer. After Sunderland signed Wilson Isidor from Zenit, transfers from the Russian Premier League to England have become easier, as payments are no longer blocked by the federation.
This season, Spertsyan has played 25 matches for Krasnodar, scoring 6 goals and providing 3 assists. Additionally, he has scored twice for the Armenian national team in the Nations League, finding the net against Latvia.
Leeds is actively monitoring the situation and may soon make an official offer.
Spertsyan: "There were options from Europe, but I will spend another six months in Krasnodar."
