Presenter Joe Wainman has been left excited by the reports linking Leeds United with a move for Ivan Fresneda.
According to Spanish outlet AS Leeds are strongly interested in the highly-rated youngster.
The 18-year-old has come into the Real Valladolid side this season and has seemingly gained admirers from a number of clubs throughout the continent including La Liga heavyweights Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Apparently, the Whites have already made their move for Fresneda who has a growing release clause based on first-team appearances which is currently £26m (€30m).
Speaking on the Just Joe Football Show Wainman said:
(9:21) ” The Fresneda one does really really excite me and interest me and a lot of sources are actually credible saying this so it’s one to keep your eyes on.”

The burgeoning talent’s area of the field is somewhere that Victor Orta will need to address in the coming windows.
While Fresneda may not be an immediate part of the club’s first-team plans he could certainly prove a valuable investment considering the calibre of suitors lining up for his signature.
Journalist Juan Arroita has described his crossing ability as ‘beastly’ and said ‘how good does this boy look’ which could point to an exciting future.
Whether or not Leeds are the club that can offer him the best path to further his career remains to be seen but this is certainly one to look out for heading into January.
