Leeds have found joy in the Italian market before, with Pontus Jansson standing out as a strong example of a hidden gem signing from the Italian top tier. Here's nine underrated Serie A stars Leeds could target this summer if they secure promotion.
7. Radja Naingolan - Cagliari (on loan from Inter)
Perhaps not so much a hidden gem as the others, but he's slipped under the radar in recent times. He's a born leader, and would add some serious grit to Leeds' midfield.
8. Riccardo Orsolini - Bologna
He wouldn't be cheap, but the former Juventus starlet would be a seriously good investment. He's a technically-gifted winger with a real eye for goal, and has scored seven times this season.
9. Davide Faraoni- Verona
Verona have been a real surprise package this season, powering up the table since gaining promotion. Farone has improved markedly since his Watford days, and is a dependable right-back.
