Leeds United reportedly want to sign in-demand Dundee United striker Louis Appere.

Dundee United striker Louis Appere is reportedly a transfer target for Championship side Leeds United.

The 20-year-old has found the back of the net on three occasions in the Scottish Championship this season, in addition to providing five assists in his 17 outings in the second tier.

According to TEAMtalk, both Celtic and Rangers are interested in signing the forward with Dundee United prepared to sell for a figure in the region of £2.5m.

However, the report claims that Leeds are also firmly in the hunt for Appere, who has played in a number of different positions for his Scottish club during the 2019-20 campaign.

The Whites are likely to face competition from other teams in the second tier of English football, though, while Bournemouth and Norwich City are also being credited with an interest.

Marcelo Bielsa's team are currently second in the Championship table with 47 points having played out a 3-3 draw with Cardiff City on Saturday afternoon.
