Championship play-off hopefuls Leeds United are among the clubs linked with Coventry City’s League One starlet Tom Bayliss.
Coventry City might have endured another difficult season off the pitch but, on it, the fans have at least been able to enjoy one of the most talented young midfielders in the Football League.
A former U18 captain who has risen through the ranks to become a first-team regular at the Ricoh Arena, 20-year-old Tom Bayliss is a key player at Coventry these days, with his driving runs from midfield and intelligent passing range an integral part of Mark Robins’ game plan.
The England youth star has all the talent to follow in the footsteps of former Sky Blues youngsters James Maddison and Callum Wilson. And his performances have certainly garnered plenty of attention.
According to the Mirror (5 May, page 51), he is now catching the eye of clubs like Leeds United with TEAMtalk adding that he has an affordable £3 million release clause in his contract.
And a move to Elland Road could be the perfect stepping stone for a player who would surely relish the chance to hone his craft under Marcelo Bielsa.
But how do Coventry fans feel about the seemingly impending exit of the club’s latest fresh-faced talent?
