Leeds United backed to sign “old-school” Sunderland star
Leeds United are considering a move for Sunderland forward Wilson Isidor this summer.
According to TEAMtalk, the 24-year-old is one of four names that have been shortlisted by the Whites as a potential recruit at the end of the season.
The Yorkshire outfit are aiming for automatic promotion this year, and a 2-1 win over Sunderland last Monday put themselves one step closer to a top flight return.
Isidor signed for the Black Cats last summer, converting a loan move into a permanent deal in January, and has scored 12 times in the Championship so far this campaign.

When asked about the possibility of signing the Frenchman, FLW’s Leeds fan pundit Ger Lynch claimed it would be a great move for Daniel Farke’s team.
He has reservations about Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph, but believes the Sunderland star would be a fantastic fit for the first team squad.
“I think Wilson Isidor is a fantastic shout for Leeds to look at,” Lynch told Football League World.
“Leeds need different profiles at number nine.
