Leeds are being linked with Karamoko Dembele, who shone for Blackpool last season.
I recently scouted him for the potential EFL signings article. For those that missed it here's a quick breakdown of what he can add to our squad:
KARAMOKO DEMBELE 21 - AM - Stade Brest
"Dembele is a diminutive talent and former England youth wonderkid excelling at League 1 club Blackpool, on loan from Stade Brestois. Dembele is incredibly press resistant with exceptional ball control. The term 'velcro feet' springs to mind. Dembele is the owner of a cultured left foot that can thread a pass through the eye of a needle. For his short stature he also plays well into the physical aspects of the game, showing decent strength with his back to goal. While Dembele wouldn't be a like for like replacement for Giorginio Rutter style-wise, he has played that 10 role brilliantly this season and would offer a different dynamic to Rutter, whilst also appearing to be a better decision maker with his final balls. Something which has hurt Rutter at points this season.
Demebele is destined for good things after kickstarting his career once again. A pure talent who looks to take real joy in playing football. The 21-year-old would fit in effortlessly into a top EFL Championship team and Leeds would be smart to show interest this summer, should Brest want to cash in on the youngster. "
If Rutter stays, which I truly hope he does, then there would still be a place for Dembele as his versatility is also a massive asset. He's more than capable of playing off the right or a bit deeper in a progressive, playmaking CM role.
A very intriguing link, which hopefully has some veracity to it.
