“Agents have made contact” £1.75 million Clubs are in discussions to sign Leeds target this month, according to him.
It’s unknown how serious Leeds United is about signing Swedish custodian Noel Tornqvist right now, but the custodian claims teams are already in contact. Tornqvist has been linked to Leeds United on a number of occasions.
On New Year’s Day, Karl Darlow suffered a dislocated thumb and Illan Meslier was suspended, therefore Kristoffer Klaesson was the one between the sticks. He did not allow a single goal against Birmingham City.
With Klaesson even thought to be content at Elland Road, Leeds now have three goalkeepers. However, Sweden U21 custodian Tornqvist has drawn attention after making an impression for elite team Mjallby in 2023.
Leeds has shown interest in the custodian, who has acknowledged that moving to England is a “dream” of his. Serie A teams Genoa and Sassuolo are also interested, so Leeds are not alone. Mjallby is rumoured to be demanding a £1.75 million payment.
Tornqvist was questioned this week about interest in his services and if he could leave Mjallby in January while speaking with the Swedish website Hallandsposten. Saying that the clubs are in contact, he made a hint towards the departure.
Mjällby has been contacted by clubs and agencies, but I won’t say anything more about it. The players all want to leave Mjällby, even though I adore the place. If you plan to go, it needs to work out. We’re going to see.
Leeds United target Noel Tornqvist claims to have been contacted by teams
A recent call-up to Sweden’s national squad for a training camp serves as evidence of his potential as a goalie. However, Leeds doesn’t really need him. That stance has been reinforced by Klaesson’s second-ever appearance.
He demonstrated Leeds’ ability to function well in the absence of the first two choices, and he is more than capable of moving up to the second spot in the event that Meslier or Darlow are forced to miss any significant time due to injury.
