Leeds United are in need of a new centre-back.
Noel Whelan has backed a suggestion that Leeds United should target Ashley Williams.
Leeds have been left short in defence by the sale of Pontus Jansson to Brentford.
Former Leeds striker believes free agent Ashley Williams would be a good addition.
Williams has just been released from his contract at Everton.
Williams spent last season on loan at Stoke City, where he made 27 starts and six appearances from the bench.
The experienced centre-back is now 34 and would only be a short term option for the Whites, but he could give them the lift he needs.
Williams has leadership qualities Leeds need, as he showed with Wales during their Euro 2016 run to the semi-finals.
He told The Sentinel last week he is looking out for a club in England despite having had approaches to play abroad.
