  WHAT HAPPENED?

  According to Corriere dello Sport, via Sport Witness, Leeds were close to beating Fulham and West Ham for Inter Milan’s Mehdi Taremi. However, the same publication has now teased an 'English derby' as Fulham are reportedly readying an offer for the 33-year-old.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Leeds are on the lookout for a new number nine as Patrick Bamford is not part of manager Daniel Farke's plans, and Matteo Joseph is set for a loan exit. They have been targeting Fulham's Rodrigo Muniz but with the Cottagers reluctant to sell for now, reports suggest they both want Taremi – who scored three goals in 43 games for Inter last season.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Taremi, who could reportedly leave for €10 million this summer, swapped FC Porto for Inter in 2024 but he has failed to fire at the Italian giants. This is in stark contrast to the Iranian's time at Porto, where he bagged 91 goals and added 56 assists in 182 games.

  WHAT NEXT?

  It remains to be seen if the former Persepolis attacker will be given another chance to shine at Inter for the upcoming season or if Leeds, Fulham, or West Ham will try and sign the experienced Iranian international before the window shuts.
