Report: Leeds want to sign Raphael Guerreiro on a free transfer

Raphael Guerreiro is apparently on Leeds United’s wish list. The Portuguese left-back is in his final year at Borussia Dortmund and will be free to negotiate with other clubs in January.

With Leeds United it could then become concrete pretty quickly.
