Leeds United are monitoring Kilmarnock ace Eamonn Brophy, report Teamtalk.

Brophy, 23, scored 11 goals in 30 league games this past season.

It’s a reach to say he would be a transformative signing for Leeds, but expensive additions can be just as risky as low cost ones, as the Whites found out with £7 million Patrick Bamford this season.

However Brophy may not be interested in a move to Leeds.

This is because Kilmarnock’s strong end to the season landed a spot in the Europa League.

While Killie must go through the qualifiers, Brophy is clearly excited, as his message at the end of the season shows.

Manager Steve Clarke has since left Kilmarnock to take the Scotland job, but the club will be desperate to keep their squad together and keep their momentum.

This is Brophy’s first chance to play in the Europa League, and he won’t get that at Leeds United.

His enthusiasm for the opportunity suggests he would not be interested in a switch to the Whites at present.
