Leeds United are interested in Huddersfield Town defender Scott Malone, according to ClubCall.

Malone, 26, signed for Huddersfield this summer from Fulham, but has been unable to establish himself in the first team.

The left-back is a former England under-20 international, who has previously played for Wolves and Cardiff City.

Malone would add competition at left-back, a position where Leeds have struggled for consistency since losing Charlie Taylor in the summer.

Gaetano Berardi has been injured until the past fortnight, with Vurnon Anita filling in, while Manchester United loanee Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has failed to convince.

Malone is a proven Championship player, who would have no problem starring at Leeds if allowed to drop down.

Leeds are reportedly interested in a loan move, but Huddersfield may be reluctant to lose a talented defender with a gruelling Premier League season ahead, even if he is not a current starter for David Wagner.
