Rangers are reportedly interested in signing Brandon Barker, with The Scottish Sun claiming that the Ibrox club’s director of football Mark Allen wants a deal to secure him on a season-long loan deal from Manchester City City completed by this week, and Leeds United should join the race.

Barker is a very talented and promising young winger who did well during his loan spell at Hibernian last season, and Leeds would be wise to join the race for the 21-year-old.

Leeds do need more dynamism in their attack, and a young and hungry player like Barker would give the Whites a boost in their quest to finish in the Championship playoffs.

Hadi Sacko has not had a great time either since his permanent move to Leeds in the summer of 2017, and it is clear that Leeds need to freshen up the wing area.

If Rangers, one of the biggest clubs in the world, think that Barker would be a good loan signing, then so should Leeds, especially as Championship rivals Hull City are also interested, according to The Scottish Sun.
