The defender was heavily linked with Leeds United prior to his switch to Barnsley.
Leeds United made some brilliant permanent additions in the summer, but their only new centre-back was the loan signing of Matthew Pennington from Everton.
The youngster looks set for a bright future in the game and impressed prior to his injury setback. However one player Leeds may regret missing out on is former target Liam Lindsay.
During his time at Partick Thistle, Leeds were regularly linked with the 21-year-old, and tonight he has the chance to prove his worth when his new club Barnsley take on Tottenham Hotspur.
With Fernando Llorente expected to start for Spurs, and with the prospect of Harry Kane potentially coming off the bench if things are not going according to plan, Lindsay will have to be at his best to give the Tykes a chance of victory.
As reported by the Scottish Sun earlier this year, Leeds had a longstanding interest in Lindsay prior to his move to their Championship rivals and tonight could show if he was the one that got away.
Leeds have not exactly done badly in his absence, with Liam Cooper excelling under new Whites boss Thomas Christiansen and Pontus Jansson as imperious as ever. But with Pennington’s long-term future likely to be at Goodison Park, it will be interesting to see how Lindsay fares in the years ahead.
