Jacob Zetterstrom is keen on the idea of a move to Leeds United this summer, sources have told Football Insider.

The Derby County goalkeeper sees the chance to test himself in the Premier League as a huge appeal, and the Whites are prepared to give him that opportunity.

The 27-year-old is into the final year of his contract with the Championship outfit, and is keen to push himself at the highest possible level in the coming years.

Eintracht Frankfurt are also admirers of the Sweden international, and sources say that the gloveman would also be open to joining a top German club.

Leeds are in the market for a new number one goalkeeper as one of their top priorities this summer, and Zetterstrom has emerged on their radar.

He enjoyed an impressive World Cup for Sweden, and Derby are now growing increasingly concerned about losing him as a result.

Derby panicking over Jacob Zetterstrom interest

Zetterstrom's contract situation at Derby means that the East Midlands outfit have limited security regarding his long-term future.

The Rams are expecting offers to come in for their number one in the coming weeks, and are likely to find it increasingly difficult to turn them away.

They are understood to be "wary" of the interest that has built up in their gloveman during the World Cup, and are now panicking that they may not be able to keep him.

Derby are anticipating offers from both Elland Road and elsewhere in the coming weeks, amid what looks set to be their final chance to cash in on their star.

That plays directly into the hands of Daniel Farke and Co., who desperately need to address their own goalkeeping situation before next season gets underway.

Chelsea plotting to sign Leeds star as Xabi Alonso 'frustrated' by agreed deal

Chelsea plotting move to snatch Leeds star

Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider earlier this week that Chelsea are lining up a move to prise Gabriel Gudmundsson away from Leeds this summer.

Blues boss Xabi Alonso is understood to have been left "frustrated" by the sale of Marc Cucurella to Real Madrid, and the club are now in the market for a new left-back.

Brown believes that the West Londoners have Gudmundsson on their radar after an impressive debut campaign in the Premier League.

However, he was also sure that Chelsea will have other options available to them to strengthen the left side of their defence, meaning Leeds ultimately may not have to face the prospect of losing the Swede.
