Roma are 'in advanced talks to sign Leeds defender Rasmus Nissen Kristensen' with Dane 'set for loan move' after only 12-months at Elland Road

Roma are reportedly pushing to sign Leeds defender Rasmus Nissen Kristensen with talks said to be in ‘advanced stages.’

The Denmark international played 26 times in his sole campaign at Elland after joining from Austrian outfit RB Salzburg for around £8.5m.

Italian side Roma, who were interested in purchasing the right-back last summer, are closing in on a deal following Leeds’ relegation to the Championship.

According to Sky Sports journalist Gianluca Di Marzo, no agreement has been reached between the two clubs, though Kristensen has made his intention to leave clear.
