Leeds United and Derby County are both reportedly chasing Jack Marriott, after battling for Florian Jozefzoon.

Leeds United may just have a chance to get their revenge on Derby County, by jumping ahead of them in the race for Jack Marriott.

Leeds lost out to Derby, as both teams went head to head to sign Florian Jozefzoon from Brentford, but it was the Rams who won the race.

Derby and Leeds are both thought to also be in the hunt for Marriott, as reported by the Bristol Post, and the Whites may now just have an opportunity to have the last laugh.

The Peterborough Evening Telegraph have claimed that Derby have seen three bids rejected for Marriott, which gives Leeds a chance to swoop.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side are known to be looking for a new number nine, and Marriott could be a great addition.

The Posh striker hit 33 goals last term, making him the top scorer across the whole of the Football League.

And if Leeds did manage to land Marriott ahead of Derby, then they may feel that they have secured an even better signing than Jozefzoon, which would be the perfect way to exact revenge.
