Juventus winger Simone Pepe is on the agenda of Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino as a potential summer signing.
Cellino manages transfer policy at Elland Road along with sporting director Nicola Salerno and the pair have combined to extensively raid the Italian market during their time in power at Leeds.
At present Cellino is serving a Football League ban, which is due to expire next month, but he is already giving thought to who Leeds can bring in to bolster their options.
Pepe, according to Italian daily Unione Sarda, is the latest player on Cellino's radar, with his contractual situation having made him an attractive proposition.
The 31-year-old is out of contract with Juventus in the summer, but it remains to be seen whether he will be tempted by the idea of dropping into England's second tier.
