Leeds United are interested in Mimoun Mahi
The Whites are one of a number of English sides interested in the Morocco international, who has scored four goals in seven appearances for the Dutch top-flight club this season.
Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen remains on the hunt for attacking reinforcements following the sale of Chris Wood to Burnley in the summer.
Wood left Elland Road for £15million and funds are available for Christiansen to spend when the transfer window reopens in January.
Mahi, 23, has less than two years left on his current contract.
He joined Groningen from Sparta Rotterdam in 2014 and has caught the eye in the Eredivisie.
Premier League outfit Swansea City were linked with a move for his signature last January.
Mahi is a versatile forward, capable of playing through the middle or out on the wing.
