From the source

Leeds United are reportedly hoping to sign Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi during the January transfer window as Daniel Farke looks to strengthen his defensive options for the second half of the season.

According to a Football Insider report, the Whites believe they could secure the Nigerian international for a reduced fee, with his contract situation at the Portuguese club creating an opportunity to negotiate a favourable deal.

The 29-year-old has been on Leeds’ radar for some time, with the club considering moves for him during the previous two transfer windows. His uncertain future at Porto has now prompted the Premier League side to explore bringing him to Elland Road in January.
