Leeds United 'tracking Sporting Lisbon defender Tobias Figueiredo'

Leeds United are reportedly exploring the option of a January bid for Tobias Figueiredo, who is out of favour at Sporting Lisbon.

Sporting Lisbon defender Tobias Figueiredo is a January transfer target for Championship side Leeds United, according to a report.

The 23-year-old has been with the Portuguese giants since the age of 12, taking in spells with Reus and Nacional along the way.

Figueiredo is no longer wanted by boss Jorge Jesus, however, having been restricted to reserve-team appearances this term, and Portuguese outlet Desporto ao Minuto suggests that Leeds could offer him a way out.

Sporting are understood to value the centre-back at £3m, but a loan move until the end of the campaign may also suit all three parties.

A Portugal Under-23s international, Figueiredo has made just 15 league appearances for his boyhood side since emerging from the academy.
