Leeds United scout reportedly watched Benfica forward Chris Willock on Saturday

Leeds United sent a scout to watch Porto’s win over Braga on Saturday, according to Portuguese outlet A Bola, and it has now emerged that the Whites representative watched Benfica forward Chris Willock earlier in the day.

As reported by Scouts In Attendance, the former Arsenal ace was scouted during the Portuguese’s B team defeat to Penafiel, and it seems Leeds aren’t ready to give up on him having earlier tried to sign him on loan during the January transfer window.
