Leeds United have been linked with Italian midfielder Andrea Lazzari from Serie D side Alma Juventus Fano, according to Tutto Mercato Web.

The Italian midfielder recently revealed that he was interested in a move abroad there appears that a club potentially interested is Leeds United.

Lazzari who has played for a number of Italian sides was at Cagliari when Massimo Cellino controversially owned the club and this is where the rumour has come from.

If Lazzari is to join Leeds then it's difficult to see how Garry Monk will utilise the Italian midfielder who is still looking to adapt to his new environment.

The signing of Lazzari would demonstrate the influence that Massimo Cellino still holds at the West Yorkshire club, and it would show that Leeds hasn't progressed as much as some would've hoped with the arrival of Monk.

Leeds United fans, how do you feel about the news? Would you like to see Lazzari join Leeds United? Is he the type of player you'd like to see signing for your club? Or is he symptomatic of what is wrong with Leeds United with the influence Cellino holds over vital decisions ultimately undermining Garry Monk?
