Leeds have been linked to Brentford defender Harlee Dean.
Leeds United fans have welcomed links to Brentford centre-back Harlee Dean.
Dean has only one year left on his current Brentford contract and has been stripped of the captaincy while speculation over his future swirls.
Leeds are in need of a centre-back having failed to sign last season’s star loanee Kyle Bartley.
Harlee Dean has made more than 200 appearances for Brentford since joining from Southampton back in 2012, where he spent two seasons.
The 26-year-old is being urged by Brentford supporters to sign a new deal but there has been no progress, and Leeds fans are hoping they can steal in and convince him to join.
Potential alternatives include Bristol City’s Aden Flint and free agent Reto Ziegler.
Dean has an aggressive nature to his game which partnered with Pontus Jansson could give the Whites one of the most intimidating centre-back partnerships in the Championship.
