Leeds United, Hull City and Middlesbrough are being credited with interest in the Australian midfielder.
Leeds United are tracking Sturm Graz midfielder James Jeggo, according to the Daily Mail, but could face competition from Yorkshire rivals Hull City and Middlesbrough should they wish to pursue a deal for the 25-year-old.
Jeggo is out of contract at the end of this season and is said to have turned down the Austrian side’s offer of an extension.
He can therefore speak to other clubs in January regarding a pre-contract agreement, prior to moving clubs next summer – unless a cut-price deal can be struck before then.
Leeds are being tipped to add to their central midfield ranks this winter, with a deal for Japan international Yosuke Ideguchi rumoured earlier this autumn.
Unlike Ideguchi, however, the report states that Jeggo, who was born and raised in Australia, would not face difficulty obtaining a work permit, due to his English parentage.
Leeds, whose former boss Garry Monk took charge of Middlesbrough in the summer, have recruited a number of players from overseas since appointing Thomas Christiansen as the Englishman’s successor.
Should Leeds move for Jeggo, or leave him to Hull/Middlesbrough?
