Leeds United are reported to be keen on Cardiff’s Kadeem Harris.

Leeds United are interested in Cardiff City winger Kadeem Harris, report The Sun.

Harris, 25, has only made one Premier League start this season and three substitute appearances.

He has impressed particularly over the past fortnight, and that could make Cardiff reluctant to let him leave in January.

Just before the international break this month he made his first start in a win against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Former Leeds United captain Sol Bamba, a current teammate of Harris at Cardiff, was particularly impressed.

Kadeem Harris of Cardiff looks on during the Premier League match between Liverpool and Cardiff City at Anfield on October 27, 2018 in Liverpool, United Kingdom.

Bamba told Cardiff’s official club website: “We knew at the start of the season that we had a strong squad and everyone will have to get involved. Kadeem (Harris) has been unbelievable in the last couple of weeks and deserved his chance.”

Harris has a platform to build from and if he can kick on, Leeds’ chances of a deal in the next transfer window are questionable.

The one thing working in their favour is Harris’ contract situation.

His current deal expires in June and talks have not yet opened over a new one. If this remains the case in January, then he will be able to sign a pre-contract agreement.

Cardiff could even look to sell so they do not lose him for nothing. If he keeps up his current form, it will be in the Bluebirds’ interest to sort Harris out with a contract extension before 2018 comes to an end.
