Leeds United are boosting their efforts to sign Norwich star Emiliano Buendia, it's been claimed. Marcelo Bielsa wants to strengthen his side ahead of next season.
Buendia was one of Norwich's shining lights in an otherwise dim season.
The Canaries finished bottom of the league and were relegated to the Championship after one season back in the Premier League.
Leeds, meanwhile, were promoted as champions of England's second division after 16 years after they were relegated.

Leeds are also hoping to keep hold of striker Patrick Bamford and defender Ben White.
White spent the season on loan with Leeds but he could be heading back to his parent club Brighton.

"Having had some time to reflect on what has been the most incredible season I wanted to take the time to thank everyone associated with Leeds United Football Club, including the incredible supporter," White said.
"No matter what happens from here I will never forget the way you took me in and treated me as one of your own from day one.
"These memories and experiences will be with me forever."
Brighton boss Graham Potter, however, wants to hand on to White.
"He's our player, he's got a long contract with us," he said.
"I have known Ben for a while, I have been aware of him, wanted to try and sign him when we were at Swansea.
"I know about his qualities. He's a fantastic player.
"He's done brilliantly at Leeds and helped them get promotion.
"That's fantastic for them, fantastic for him - but he's our player and we're looking forward to working with him."
