Leeds are keen on signing a new winger, and have now set their sights on Liverpool starlet Ben Doak.<\/p>\n

The Whites failed in their pursuit of Igor Paixao as he chose Marseille<\/a> instead, but have not given up on strengthening the position.<\/p>\n

Leeds<\/a> have now targeted Doak, who looks likely to leave Liverpool after an outstanding campaign out on loan.<\/p>\n

Several Premier League<\/a> sides are interested in the 19-year-old, and Leeds have now learned the asking price to bring him to Elland Road.<\/p>\n

With Mateo Joseph now agreeing a move to Mallorca<\/a>, Leeds are aiming to recruit in the attacking department as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

With this in mind, they have now made contact with Liverpool over a move for Doak<\/a>, and this could progress quickly.<\/p>\n

As reported by Beren Cross, Leeds have held discussions over a move for the teenager, who excelled in the Championship<\/a> with Middlesbrough last season before picking up a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

Doak spent last season on loan at Boro, and appeared 21 times in the Championship.He has not appeared since February.StatDoakAppearances21Goals3Assists7Doak\u2019s Championship stats from last season<\/p>\n

It is reported that Liverpool want \u00a320 million for the attacker, and this would make this a deal Leeds can afford to do.<\/p>\n

Paixao would have cost significantly more, but it is currently unclear what Doak\u2019s preferred destination is as he prepares to leave Anfield.<\/p>\n

Doak would be a gamble for Leeds<\/p>\n

Doak excelled in the Championship, but like others in the Leeds squad, questions remain over whether he can make the step up to the top flight.<\/p>\n

The hamstring injury he suffered in February kept him out for the rest of the campaign, and he would take some time to build up his match fitness.<\/p>\n

In the long run, \u00a320m could seem like a bargain if he can fulfil his potential and stay fit at Leeds, but in terms of immediate impact, Doak would not currently raise the level.<\/p>\n

Willy Gnonto and Dan James look set to start the season<\/a>, but Doak would be a strong rotation option if he was to join this summer, and he could eventually usurp either player on one of the wings.<\/p>\n
