    Key Takeaways:

  • Leeds are in direct talks with Feyenoord for winger Igor Paixao
  • No official bid yet but contact has been made between the clubs
  • Paixao registered 16 goals and 14 assists last season but is nursing a muscle injury

Premier League newcomers Leeds United are in active talks with Dutch giants Feyenoord over a potential move for winger Igor Paixao. According to Sky Sports, there is currently no official offer, but direct contact between the two clubs has already taken place.

The English side are making a concerted effort to strengthen their wide areas this summer, with the 25-year-old Brazilian being one of their main transfer targets. Paixao primarily features on the left wing but is also capable of playing on the right or in a central attacking role – a position that also falls within Leeds’ recruitment interests during this window.

Despite Leeds’ ambitions, Feyenoord have warned that Paixao could miss the beginning of the new season due to a muscle injury.

In the previous Eredivisie campaign, Paixao posted impressive numbers with 16 goals and 14 assists, drawing attention not only from Leeds but from several other European clubs as well.
