LEEDS are reportedly interested in Mateo Retegui – but face a fight to land the striker.
The 23-year-old came to international attention last month when he made his Italy debut against England having picked the European country over Argentina, his place of birth.
He managed to get his name on the scoresheet and tucked a decent effort beyond Jordan Pickford.
The star followed this up with another goals days later as Italy won 2-0 away at Malta.
England fans could be set to see more of Retegui with Leeds targeting the star.
