Leeds United and Sunderland monitor £51m forward as Tottenham Hotspur explore situation - report

Leeds United, Sunderland and Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with interest in Real Madrid prodigy Endrick.

Widely considered to be among the most exciting prospects in world football, the forward was prised from Palmeiras in a deal reported to be worth £51.9m in 2024.

He has since 40 appearances for Real Madrid, registering seven goals for the La Liga giants.

The Brazil international was recently loaned to Ligue 1 outfit Lyon and has hit the ground running, scoring four goals across his first four outings.

His exploits appear to have attracted attention from the Premier League, as Fichajes have linked a trio of clubs with the young marksman.

Leeds are among those said to be keen, with the Whites supposedly monitoring Endrick closely. It has been suggested they view him as an ideal player to develop as part of an ambitious project.

Sunderland are also keeping a close eye, the report has claimed, with the Black Cats believed to view Endrick as a potential game-changer.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are reportedly exploring the highly-rated prospect’s situation.

Given the hefty outlay for his services in 2024, it appears unlikely Real Madrid would be willing to sell Endrick on the cheap.

An immediate deal, meanwhile, is off the cards given he only recently arrived at Lyon on loan.

A summer move could be explored and he would arguably be a significant coup for Leeds, who would almost certainly need to stay in the top flight to stand a chance of securing his signature.

Tempting Real Madrid to prise with such a talent, however, could prove incredibly difficult.

Leeds have made just one signing in the winter window, securing the services of Argentine playmaker Facundo Buonanotte on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion.

It remains to be seen whether Leeds strike again before the deadline, which will arrive at 7pm today (February 2).
