Liverpool are reportedly interested in Leif Davis.
Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has had to take some difficult decisions to balance the books at the club since taking over.
He sold top scorer Chris Wood, and promising talent Ronaldo Vieira, netting more than £20 million in the process.
Each deal, one in 2017 and one in 2018 helped fund transfers that summer, and Leeds fans would be naïve to believe the club won’t sell a player for big money this summer after their promotion hopes fell flat again.
The way to do it of course, is to sell a player for big money, while creating minimal impact for the team.
This is why reports claiming Liverpool want talented youngster Leif Davis are ideal, with The Sun reporting they want to make him Andy Robertson’s understudy.
Leeds signed Davis from Morecambe last summer, and while he has made the first team, he has only started in one league game.
If Leeds were able to sell him on for a big fee, they should consider doing so, as there are numerous options in the position.
Barry Douglas is a top quality option at left-back when fit, and Ezgjan Alioski and Stuart Dallas both had good moments in the position, filling in.
Leeds also have England youth international Tom Pearce, who impressed on his first team debut in 2018, performing better than Davis did.
When the alternative is Leeds selling Kemar Roofe, Kalvin Phillips or Jack Clarke, cashing in on Leif Davis does not seem so bad, if the Whites do indeed need to sell once again to finance their own transfers.
