Boulaya, 28, has enjoyed the best years of his career playing with FC Metz in his birth country of France.

In the 2020/21 campaign, the Algeria international netted six goals and provided eight assists in Ligue 1, a return which has reportedly earned him admirers in Leeds United.

He also mentioned interest from two Spanish clubs, but considering Boulaya previously have an successful stint in La Liga, it’s difficult to imagine him moving back.

Still, with his asking price standing at just €4.5M (£3.9M), as per the information provided by Mohamed Toubache-Ter, it’s hard to imagine Leeds striking a deal without facing legitimate competition.

We’ll have to wait and see whether this one develops over the weeks ahead.
