Leeds United and Nottingham Forest are keeping close tabs on Ghanaian midfielder Lawrence Agyekum following his permanent move to Cercle Brugge.

The 21-year-old has impressed during his loan spell from RB Salzburg, making 44 appearances for the Belgian side in the 2024/25 season.

Lawrence Agyekum‘s consistent form, highlighted by two goals and two assists, convinced Cercle to trigger their purchase option and secure him on a four-year deal until 2029.

Despite the transfer, interest from Premier League sides is growing. Leeds and Forest are both exploring midfield reinforcements, and Agyekum’s versatility and technical ability make him a compelling target.

Ontheminute.com understands that both clubs are closely monitoring his development, aware that Brugge may be open to a profitable sale in the 2025 summer transfer window.
