Leeds United now battling Nottingham Forest to sign defender from Bundesliga club, they want to keep him

It is said both and Nottingham Forest are keeping an eye on his situation with Freiburg determined to retain his services and make him a big part of their future.

Leeds remain in the market for defensive reinforcements and about the need to bring in another full-back.

Depending on what sort of role James Debayo could play this season, another central defender may also be a useful addition at Charlie Cresswell and Liam Cooper have both left, leaving Max Wober as the only senior backup to Pascal Struijk and Joe Rodon.

Debayo had not had any sort of taste of senior football and so a loan move may well be what his development needs.

However, that would leave Leeds without any sort of backup to Rodon as a natural right-sided defender without having to move Ethan Ampadu out of central midfielder.But according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Dennis Bayer, Leeds are in the market for another centre-back, with Freiburg’s Bruno Ogbus on the radar.

Alongside Nottingham Forest, Leeds are reportedly monitoring the situation of Ogbus this summer, though Freiburg are determined to keep him.

AC Milan have already seen an £860k offer turned down by the German side, who made it clear they have no interest in opening talks over a deal.
