At first glimpse, it looked as though Leeds would target domestic signings only.

Players like Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma have been touted with switches to Elland Road, among many others.

However, Victor Orta now appears to be targeting players on the continent too.

German publication BILD made it apparent this week that Orta had spent time travelling around Europe in order to find a striker for the club.

One of those players could by Stuttgart's Nico Gonzalez. 

A striker who can also play on the wing, he has reportedly already had a tour around Thorpe Arch. 

Orta is clearly considering plenty of other options too.

One of them played most recently in Turkey but is now available on a free transfer.

That happens to be Chile international Mauricio Isla.

The versatile individual has a colossal 115 caps to his name but could now return to English football after five years away. His last spell was with QPR when Harry Redknapp signed him from Juventus on loan. 

Isla last featured for Fenerbahce but his contract has now expired and he is free to move to a club of his own preference.

South American publication Ole (via Sport Witness) reported this week that the competition was hotting up for his signature, citing Boca Juniors as one of the leading clubs.

Leeds will not only have to beat the Argentine giants, but they'll also have to convince him to turn down Real Betis, Valencia, Real Valladolid and Panathinaikos. 

Mauricio Isla

GIVEMESPORT'S Matt Dawson says...

Isla is the very definition of a utility man.

Not only can he play at right-back, but the 32-year-old also has experience of playing at left-back, defensive midfield, central midfield and on the flanks.

It wasn't until he started to work with Marcelo Bielsa, however, that he developed an attacking instinct. "I started playing as a winger when I had a meeting with Bielsa. Many remember that I played as a central defender, as a midfielder at 'UC', but Bielsa told me 'you have a lot of facility to play winger," he said earlier this year.

The duo worked together for Chile when the current Leeds boss was in charge of the national team where they developed a mutual respect for each other.

Bielsa handed Isla his debut in 2007 and he would go onto win 17 caps under the Argentine, eventually labelling the 65-year-old as "the best coach I have ever had." 

The full-back is no spring chicken anymore and his best days are probably beyond him, but on a free transfer, Leeds can't go too wrong by signing Isla.

After all, they'll need players with experience of playing right at the top level once they start playing Premier League football. Isla has that in abundance, playing at two World Cups and three Copa Americas.
