Leeds United will be looking for a suitable replacement for departing left-back Charlie Taylor this summer, and a loan move for Everton left-back Brendan Galloway would provide a short term solution at least.
Everton’s Brendan Galloway in action
Leeds United look nailed on to lose left-back Charlie Taylor in the summer, with West Bromwich Albion his most likely destination as the Baggies step up their attempts to finally secure the signature of the 23-year-old (Sun).
With his departure all but confirmed, Leeds will be make strengthening the left-back position a high priority this summer and a loan move for Everton youngster Brendan Galloway would benefit both clubs.
Charlie Taylor looks set to leave Leeds United for West Brom this summer
Galloway is highly-rated at Goodison Park and made his debut for the Toffees in 2015 aged just 19-years-old. He spent last season with West Brom but made just five first-team appearances at the Hawthorns in an uninspiring season-long loan spell.
Everton boss Ronald Koeman will be keen to send Galloway out on loan again as the England U21 international looks to gain more first-team experience.
If the 21-year-old was made available, he would not be short of potential suitors and Leeds United would be wise to line up a potential move.

Whilst Leeds will receive a nominal fee for Taylor, it would be beneficial for the club to consider spending the funds accumulated from the sale on other areas of the squad.
Galloway has Premier League experience and will be keen to repay the faith shown by Everton, who potentially see him as a long-term replacement for Leighton Baines.
Leeds have enjoyed the benefits of using the loan market in recent seasons and it would not be a surprise to see them utilise it again.
