LEEDS have reportedly submitted a £22million bid for Morocco World Cup star Azzedine Ounahi.
The 22-year-old midfielder caught the eye as he helped Morocco to the semi-finals in Qatar last month.
Ounahi started every game in Morocco’s run to the last four, before coming off the bench in the third place play-off defeat to Croatia.
He has also been a regular for Ligue 1’s bottom club, Angers, this season.
And French newspaper L’Equipe say Leeds have now submitted an official £22m proposal.
But Ounahi himself is not thought to be keen on a switch to Elland Road.

He would rather join Serie A side Napoli, who are believed to have made a verbal offer worth £13m, with Spanish side Almeira also in the race.
Elsewhere, Ounahi’s World Cup form led to transfer links with French champions PSG.
Les Parisiens reportedly held talks with Ligue 1 rivals Angers regarding a move for Ounahi.

Although in the end PSG are said to have chosen not to push for a deal.
The Ligue 1 decided against a transfer because they believed it could block academy stars from progressing through to the first-team.
Back in the Premier League, Leicester are said to have enquired about his services following the World Cup.
The Foxes are at risk of losing star man Youri Tielemans on a free transfer in June, so could look at strengthening in midfield this month.
Premier League rivals Newcastle and West Ham are also rumoured to be interested.
