Director confirms Leeds interest in signing Belgium attacker

Club Brugge manager Bart Verhaeghe confirms Leeds’ interest in signing Belgian striker Noa Lang.

The 23-year-old was a hot man this summer but decided to stay at Club Brugge until at least January.

Teams like Leeds, Arsenal, Everton or AC Milan asked for his services and French Lille even made an offer of 18 million euros that was rejected by the striker himself.

“Noa has received several offers. Some clubs have spoken with him, like Milan or Leeds”, explains Verhaeghe

“For us, he had the green light to leave but, in the end, he chose to stay. He is a very selective guy. He received an offer of €18m from Lille but turned it down. In the end he made the decision and told us that he wanted to stay.

“Now, we are putting a lot of emphasis on his character and class.” Verhaeghe concluded.

The Yorkshire club were on the lookout for a striker this summer but fell through with offers to sign Bamba Dieng and Cody Gakpo, only to settle for young Italian striker Wilfried Gnonto on Deadline Day.
