Leeds United are among the clubs interested in signing Gent defender Jordan Torunarigha this summer.

The 26-year-old Nigerian defender has had an impressive season at Gent and is now being linked with a potential move away from the club. With only a year remaining on his contract, Gent are likely to sell the defender if they receive a good offer.

According to German broadcaster Sky Deutschland, Leeds are one of the clubs keeping an eye on the Gent centre-back.

Leeds are preparing for their Championship playoff final against Southampton this week but are also focused on the upcoming transfer window. Promotion to the Premier League would likely result in manager Daniel Farke being given substantial funds to strengthen the squad.

Strengthening the defense is a priority for Leeds, and Torunarigha has been identified as a target by the club’s recruitment team. He is expected to be available for a fee of around €2.5m to €3m due to his contract situation at Gent.

Leeds’ interest in Torunarigha largely depends on their promotion, but he is also attracting attention from Bundesliga club Hoffenheim.
