Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United are speaking to Sonny Perkins following his departure from West Ham United, with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur and Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa also interested in the young forward, according to The Daily Mail.
Leeds, Tottenham and Aston Villa eye Sonny Perkins
The report has claimed that Leeds, Tottenham and Aston Villa all are keen on signing Perkins in the summer transfer window.
The West Yorkshire club are now speaking to the 18-year-old forward, according to the report.
Tough decision
In our view, it will be tough for Sonny Perkins to make a decision on his future, as Leeds United, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa all are big clubs.
Now, we do not think that Perkins will get into the starting lineup at Leeds, Tottenham or Villa straightaway.
After all, the former West Ham player is only 18.
It is very likely that the youngster will be part of the youth set-up at whichever club he moves to next.
Perkins played regularly for West Ham’s development squad and was named Premier League 2’s Player of the Month for April of last season.
The English teenager started as a midfielder but has been playing as a centre-forward.
Perkins made three appearances for the West Ham first team last season, all upfront.
The teenager also scored 12 goals at Under-23 level.
