Leeds contact Napoli to sign defender; decision taken – report

Leeds United approaches Napoli to sign Alessandro Zanoli as transfer news breaks at Elland Road.

Leeds United attempted to buy Napoli defender Alessandro Zanoli during the January transfer window, according to Mail Plus.

Simon Jones wrote in his Transfer Confidential on January 29 that the 23-year-old was “keen to join” the Whites, but he has since gone on loan to Salernitana.

The right-back is the latest in a string of candidates linked with an Elland Road move as Daniel Farke seeks to bolster his squad following the exits of Luke Ayling and Djed Spence.

Jones says that Burnley’s Connor Roberts and Liverpool‘s Calvin Ramsay are among the players they have inquired about this month.

More disappointment.

It is unclear what the sticking issue was in getting Zanoli in, given that the Italian was interested in the move and a loan was clearly available.

Zanoli

Whether he simply decided that a move within Serie A was a better choice or something happened that made the Leeds United recruitment department apprehensive about a move, he is no longer on the table.

Phil Hay has said that one of the most important aspects of recruiting players this month is convincing them that they will get a game once they arrive, and that looks to be the case at right-back, despite the fact that 17-year-old midfielder Archie Gray is the regular starter.

The academy product has been quite impressive overall, and Farke is clearly willing to incorporate him wherever feasible, which is made much more difficult in his preferred central midfield, where Ethan Ampadu, Glen Kamara, and, more recently, Ilia Gruev have all shined.
