Leeds United now look even more determined to sign Nelson Deossa from Real Betis .
The 26-year-old is a central midfielder by trade but has also impressed further up the field.
Deossa only joined Betis from Monterrey a year ago and enjoyed an eye-catching maiden campaign in LaLiga.

Leeds have been keeping tabs on Deossa this window with a view to making a move.
Deossa's ability to play in multiple positions is just another string to his bow.
And it seems that Leeds' interest has now ramped up a notch amid an update emerging on Wednesday.
Real Betis stance shared as Leeds eye Nelson Deossa deal
Deossa still has four years to run on the contract he signed at Betis last summer.

Whites chiefs have been in attendance and it is said to have been "won over by [Deossa's] profile".
However, Vidal adds that Betis wish to keep hold of their number 18 beyond this summer.
A previous report suggested Deossa is not actively pushing for an exit from Estadio de La Cartuja.
