The 21-year-old Bolton Wanderers talent has been linked with a move to Leeds this week.

Leeds United are reportedly still keeping tabs on Bolton Wanderers attacker Zach Clough, according to reports.

The Sun report that Leeds are interested in the 21-year-old, who is also attracting the interest of Premier League sides Everton and Middlesbrough.

But is he good enough for the Elland Road club?

Clough has been catching the eye at Bolton since bursting onto the scene with six goals in 10 games in the 2014-15 Championship season.

Last season was however more of a struggle for the player. Bolton were relegated from the Championship and he managed just seven goals in 29 appearances.

Now he is back to something like his best form and fitness. He has seven goals in 19 games so far this season and was the October League One player of the month.

The other bonus is the positions he plays. Clough can play up top or just off the front-man, two positions Leeds need to improve in.

At just 21 Clough has already done a lot to impress in his short career.

With that in mind there is no doubt he is good enough for Leeds and if they can get a deal together Garry Monk and co should not hesitate in making a swoop for the Trotters star.
