Nico Elvedi is keen on the idea of a move to join Leeds United this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back has emerged as a target for the Whites, and is about to enter the final year of his contract with the German side.
Daniel Farke previously worked with the Switzerland international during his time at Monchengladbach, and sources have indicated that there is a "mutual admiration" between the pair.
The 29-year-old is also understood to be enticed by the opportunity to play in the Premier League at this stage of his career.
Leeds are prepared to offer him that this summer, and are looking to take advantage of his contract situation.
The Whites are keen to add top-level quality to their squad, and Elvedi has been identified as a player who could provide that.
Leeds are looking to bolster their defensive options this summer, and they have already outlined Elvedi as a clear target.
The West Yorkshire outfit have been linked with a move for the former Zurich fan several times in recent years, but this could finally be the summer where they get the deal done.
Elvedi appears to be approaching the end of his time with Monchengladbach, who are aware that this is likely to be their final chance to cash in on him.
The defender is currently away at the World Cup with Switzerland, meaning that any deal is likely to have to wait until he returns to his club.
Elvedi has ample experience at both Bundesliga and international level, and has even taken part in two Champions League campaigns during his time at Monchengladbach.
He is a player of vast experience and proven top-level quality, and those are two major ticks against his name amid Leeds' pursuit.
Football Insider revealed last weekend that Leeds have submitted a "big" offer for Harry Wilson, who could be available on a free transfer this summer.
Farke and Co. are battling the likes of Everton and Aston Villa for the winger's signature, while Fulham still haven't given up their attempts to keep hold of him.
Leeds have made their contract offer to the 29-year-old's camp, and are now waiting to learn their response as interest continues to build.
Wilson is one of the Premier League's most sought-after free agents this summer, and Leeds are right in the mix to potentially win the race for him.
