Leeds United have asked Palermo about Sol Bamba's availability.

Sportitalia says Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino has sounded out Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini about a loan deal for the defender.

Leeds are also in talks with Palermo for midfielder Granddi N'Goyi.

Ivory Coast defender Bamba joined Palermo on a free transfer in the summer after two years in Turkey with Trabzonspor.

He has previous Championship experience with Leicester City.
