Leeds United have conducted detailed checks on Swansea City's 24-year-old Slovenian striker, Žan Vipotnik. Vipotnik is currently the top scorer in the Championship, with 20 goals in 39 appearances this season. A number of other clubs are also interested in the forward, who some scouts have called the 'new Viktor Gyokeres'. Newcastle, Aston Villa, Everton, Brentford, and West Ham have also conducted detailed checks, while Brighton have scouted him extensively. Sporting are also closely monitoring the player. Although Swansea signed Vipotnik to a new long-term contract last month, this was done primarily to protect his future transfer value and not to ensure a long-term stay. The Slovenian international has 24 caps and 5 goals for his country, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €15.00m. In April 2026, reports suggested a potential sale would require a fee between £15m and £20m, after Swansea's asking price had been repeatedly set at £15m earlier in the year.
