Massimo Cellino's Leeds United are interested in young Italian midfielder Federico Viviani, with the player's agent revealing his client has a number of options in England.
Viviani spent last season on loan at Serie B outfit Latina Calcio from Roma, helping the side put in a strong tilt at promotion to Serie A, which only fell at the final hurdle in the playoffs against Cesena.
The 22-year-old is now waiting to weigh up his future for 2014/15, but a number of sides are spying scooping him up, of which one are English Championship side Leeds.
"Now Federico is resting, but when he returns from holiday we need to decide [his future] together", Giovanni Ferro told LaRoma24.
"Leeds and other English teams have shown interest in him", the agent added.
