Leeds United are now facing a stern transfer battle to sign Basel striker Arthur Cabral amid a recent update.
What's the story?
Reports in recent weeks had suggested that Marcelo Bielsa's side were one of several Premier League clubs interested in signing the £13.5m-rated star, and there was a significant development surrounding his future at Basel.
Italian publication Corriere dello Sport claimed that Cabral has called off talks with Basel over a potential new contract, with his existing deal with the Swiss club coming to an end in less than two years time.
And now, UOL claim that a number of other sides have been alerted to the striker's performances, and that Leeds now face competition from the likes of Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Porto, Southampton and Fiorentina.
Fans would love him
One of the big concerns for Leeds fans this season has of course surrounded their worrying lack of depth up front, especially with Patrick Bamford being out injured for a number of weeks now.
The England international was their chief goal-scorer last term with 17 in the Premier League alone, and his injury this season has seen the Whites' offensive threat take a real hit - they've scored just 11 goals in 11 top-flight games thus far.
In Cabral, those striking worries would be eased considerably.
FocusonLeeds said of the 6 foot 1 centre-forward: "His ability to find space and shoot with power and accuracy is really impressive. He really comes alive in the box and a calmness about him when in goal scoring positions. At 6ft 1 he also provides an aerial threat with 6 off his 18 goals coming from headers.
"Arthur isn’t overly quick in terms of his speed however, he also isn’t slow. Due to his movement in and around the box, he still finds himself in shooting positions a lot. If you combine this with his dribbling ability and quick feet, this helps him work room to gets shots off at goal."
Indeed, earlier this season, the "relentless" Cabral made a piece of history, becoming the first player in the history of the Swiss Super League to score nine goals in the first seven games, surpassing the record of Christian Gimenez back in 2003/2004.
The man with 72 goals over his entire club career thus far would provide exceptional cover to Bamford while he's out, and provide genuine competition for him when he's back too.
Given the kind of prolific striker that he is, Leeds fans would surely love him at Elland Road.
