Sampdoria defender Omar Colley is a summer transfer target for Leeds United, according to reports in Italy.   

TuttoMercatoWeb writes that the Yorkshire club are monitoring the 28-year-old ahead of a potential bid at the end of the season.  

However, the outlet believes that he could leave regardless after coming close to a Premier League switch last summer. 

Leeds made a concrete approach in the last few days to find out more about the Gambian’s situation. 

Colley joined Sampdoria from Belgians Genk in July 2018 for €8 million, and has featured regularly for Claudio Ranieri’s side this season.

Samp’s Serie A status for next season is all-but secured, as they are 10th in the table with eight games remaining, 14 points above the relegation zone.
