Report: Leeds have made first move to sign 25-year-old from Premier League rivals – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds are interested in signing Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill according to a report from TEAMtalk.
In fact, it is suggested that the Whites have made the first step needed to sign him by enquiring about his availability.
Central midfield is definitely an area where Marcelo Bielsa will want to bolster at Elland Road before the transfer window slams shut.
The Argentine will be keen to bring in more quality competition and cover for Kalvin Phillips.
And it seems as though the Whites boss may have identified the man for the job.
Brownhill target for Leeds
The 25-year-old Burnley ace is attracting attention from the West Yorkshire outfit according to a report from TEAMtalk.
It is suggested that Brownhill will cost around £15 million this summer.
The Burnley ace would be a very useful addition for Leeds.
Brownhill is a very combative central midfielder. He is a tenacious tackler and has an uncanny knack of being able to intercept the ball and interrupt the opposition’s play. His tackling and intercepting are key features of his game.
The former Bristol City ace had 69 interceptions to his name in 33 Premier League games for Burnley last season. He was second on the list behind only Southampton’s centre-back Jan Bednarek.
Since moving to Turf Moor in January 2020, the Burnley ace has proven himself to be a top class Premier League player this season. He is incredibly consistent.
£15 million would represent good value for Leeds. And Brownhill would improve the Whites’ engine room immeasurably.
