The Whites and the Rams are reportedly keen on the Championship ace, while Premier League duo Brighton and Sheffield United are also said to be keen.
Leeds United have expressed an interest in highly rated Bristol City midfielder Josh Brownhill but they will face competition from Derby County, according to Sky Sports News (Friday 7 June, 09:56).
The 23-year-old, on the books of the Robins since the summer of 2016 in which he was released by Preston North End, has enjoyed another great season in the Championship.
Last term, Brownhill scored five goals and registered four assists in the league – according to Transfermarkt – as well as generally being the driving force for his team in the middle of the park.
According to the report, Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is eager to bolster his ranks as the Whites seek to turn Elland Road into a Premier League ground once again and Brownhill is believed to be of interest.
However, the Rams are also said to be looking at the talented midfield maestro as they look to put their playoff defeat to Aston Villa behind them and rebuild ahead of the 2019-20 Championship campaign.
Both sides would face a battle for the Robins star’s services, though, as he is also deemed by Sky Sports News as having suitors in the Premier League as well, with Brighton & Hove Albion and Sheffield United also credited with an interest.
In addition, with Brownhill’s contract running until 2021 and being deemed by the Ashton Gate club as “absolutely vital” for their promotion chances next season (Bristol Post), it may not be easy for any of the aforementioned teams to obtain his signature.
Brownhill’s skills and talents include his dribbling, passing and long-range shooting abilities, while his work rate and consistency ensure he remains a top asset for his team throughout the season.
