The Cardiff star is out of contract this summer and Leeds United should definitely swoop if no extension is signed.
If Cardiff City win promotion to the Premier League this season, Junior Hoilett can claim to have played a big part.
The Canadian winger has managed eight goals and 10 assists for the Bluebirds, who have a seven-point cushion in the automatic promotion places from Aston Villa.
It is looking increasingly probable that Neil Warnock’s side are headed for the top flight, but will Hoilett be with them?
The 27-year-old is out of contract this summer and although Wales Online reported in February that City were willing to extend his deal, there is still no sign of his extension as of yet – and Leeds United should be among those ready to swoop if his deal is allowed to expire.
Leeds definitely need to bolster their wide options when the transfer window opens and you have to wonder whether they will find a better bargain than Hoilett, who clearly knows how to score and set up goals in this division.
The former QPR ace, once valued at £8 million according to Transfermarkt, has four seasons of Championship football under his belt, and this will be his second promotion if City go up.
Signing him for free is a no-brainer for any Championship club and Leeds should be top of the queue if no extension is signed.
