Mjällby AIF sporting director Hasse Larsson has told Swedish outlet Fotbollskanalen that Leeds United were among a handful of clubs to have been scouting 21-year-old goalkeeper Noel Törnqvist in person last weekend.
Whites representatives were reportedly at the recent AIK vs Mjällby fixture, which the home side won 1-0, in order to watch Sweden Under-21 international goalkeeper Törnqvist. Speaking to Fotbollskanalen in the Scandinavian country, Larsson claimed a visit had been paid by scouts belonging to Leeds, two unnamed Dutch clubs and Danish giants FC Copenhagen.
The 21-year-old stands at 6ft 6in tall and has kept 11 clean sheets in 29 appearances across all competitions this season, helping Mjällby reach the Swedish Cup Final in May, where they finished runners-up. Törnqvist reportedly went on trial at Leeds as a 15-year-old, initialling joining the Under-16 group at Thorp Arch before being tested at Under-18 level, while still with previous club Halmstads BK.
