Leeds United close in on Ecuadorian winger – report

Leeds United are looking to South America as they attempt to return to the Premier League, with reports suggesting they're interested in Alexander Alvarado. 

Alvarado currently plays for SD Aucas in his native Ecuador, but has made clear through his representatives that he is a fan of English football. It's also thought that Marcelo Bielsa being Leeds's manager would be a significant draw.

“It’s something that I saw on social media, I have not talked to anyone. With my representative we talked, but not on that issue. In some days we are going to talk, the day that an option comes we can make it public.”
