Leeds United are eyeing a move for Mario Stroeykens this summer

Leeds United are eyeing a move for Mario Stroeykens this summer as they prepare for life in the Premier League.

According to Sacha Tovolieri, the Whites are interested in the Anderlecht forward and have opened talks over personal terms.

Daniel Farke is looking to build a team capable of competing in the top flight next year, as they look to end the run of promoted teams going straight back down to the Championship.

The Yorkshire outfit won the second division title, finishing ahead of Burnley due to a superior goal difference, returning to the top flight at the second attempt.

Leeds United eye Belgian playmaker

Stroeykens is reportedly a transfer target for Leeds this summer, as they look to bolster their creative options.

The Belgian is capable of playing as a no.10 or as a winger on either flank, and has featured in all three positions in the Belgian Pro League.

The 20-year-old came through the ranks of the Anderlecht academy system, and has cemented himself as a key part of the first-team squad in the last couple of seasons.

It’s believed no formal offer has yet been made to the Belgian giants, but that talks are ongoing over personal terms.

It remains to be seen what kind of asking price Anderlecht will be seeking for the youngster.

The player has just 12 months remaining on his current contract, with his deal set to expire in the summer of 2026.

Mario Stroeykens’ importance to Anderlecht

Leeds will be looking to bolster their attacking options this summer ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Stroeykens has proven himself as a key part of the Anderlecht side in recent years, having come through the academy system.

He contributed three goals and five assists last season from 23 appearances in the Belgian Pro League, with his side finishing fourth in the table.

The 20-year-old also scored one and assisted one from seven games in the Europa League, with Anderlecht reaching the play-off round in the knockout stages.

Stroeykens signing could be a smart move by Leeds

Stroeykens has emerged as an exciting young prospect from Belgian football, and has performed well for Anderlecht for a couple of years now.

He is still only 20, and has room to improve and develop into an even more talented player.

The forward has proven himself as a versatile option, and is someone that could fit in nicely with Farke’s style of play.
