Leeds United plotting move for 23-year-old defender

According to reports, Leeds United are keeping tabs on Sporting Lisbon defender Tobias Figueiredo.

The 23 year old Figueiredo appears to be out of the first team picture at Sporting and has only played for the clubs B team so far this season.

At his age, he really should be playing first team football so it is likely that he will join a new club during the near future.

Sporting reportedly rate Figueiredo at around £3 million but may look to send him out on loan rather than sell him.

Figueiredo is a youth product of the Sporting system and has been with the club since he was 12 years old.

He has however struggled to break into the first team on a regular basis and has so far only managed 15 League appearances.

Thomas Christiansen’s Leeds meanwhile are in eighth position on the Championship standings but are still hoping to challenge for a place in the promotion playoffs.
