Leeds United have targeted Real Betis midfielder Nelson Deossa as a defensive midfield option after missing out on Shea Charles. The 26-year-old Colombian impressed Leeds scouts by scoring and assisting in Betis's 3-1 win over Arsenal in Dublin. He was reportedly set to join Vasco da Gama before Leeds moved in. Deossa's backstory includes digging in Colombian gold mines at 19; his arrival could jeopardize Ao Tanaka's starting role, potentially prompting the Japan international to seek a move.
