Watford are interested in signing Barry Douglas from Leeds United before the summer transfer window in England closes on Friday, according to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, October 11, 2020).
It has been reported by the British tabloid that the Championship club have made an offer to Leeds to sign the Scottish left-back on loan.
The report has added that Watford – who got relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season – are hoping that their offer is good enough for Leeds, with Blackburn Rovers also interested in the 31-year-old.
Dilemma
Douglas has not played a single minute in the Premier League so far this season, and it is clear that the 31-year-old has a fight on his hands if he is to play regular first-team football.
Described by Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa as “a very useful player” and “an impeccable professional” in Leeds Live in September 2020, it would be a blow for the left-back if he does not get to play in the Premier League for the club he helped win promotion from the Championship.
However, warming the substitutes’ bench is not going to help Douglas much, and it seems that the left-back could be in a real dilemma.
