Jonny Williams, linked with Derby County, would be a good signing for Leeds United.

Leeds United and Derby County have emerged as intriguing rivals this past season mainly due to the Spygate scandal and then the Championship playoff semi-final tie between the two sides, and one suspects that the Whites and the Rams will be continuing that rivalry in 2019-20.

Both Leeds and Derby will be challenging for the automatic promotion places, and the Whites can get one over on the Rams by beating them to the signature of Jonny Williams.

Williams is become a free agent this summer after leaving Charlton Athletic, and WalesOnline has reported that the 25-year-old midfielder has been offered to a number of clubs in the Championship, including Derby.

The former Crystal Palace midfielder will be a very good signing for any promotion-chasing club in the Championship, and Leeds should make a move.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side do have some very good midfielders, but the Whites could do with adding more depth in that position.

Williams is only 25 years of age, and he can still improve and develop, and working under Bielsa, he will be able to do just that.
