With all of Leeds United’s preferred transfer deals this summer being stalled over financial issues according to the media, we have a new name in the frame today.
The Mirror have claimed that Marcelo Bielsa is now taking a very close look at Bristol City left back Joe Bryan.
Joe Bryan's 17/18 Season Stats:
???? 48 Appearances
⚽️ 7 Goals
???? 3 Assists
???? 70.4% Pass Accuracy
???? 4 MOTM Performances
???? 7.34 Average Rating pic.twitter.com/zuM9I3Hvqd— All Day LUFC (@AllDayLUFC) July 18, 2018
It’s believed that Bristol City will have a tough time holding onto the 24-year-old this summer as he’s long been linked with Premier League and fellow Championship clubs and he is out of contract next summer, and with no new deal likely to be signed, it’s expected the Robins will cash in on him whilst they can command a slightly higher fee.
Bryan played 48 times last season for the club, scoring seven times and he found the back of the net against Manchester United in their EFL Cup run and that helped put him on the map.
Fans are torn on whether or not he should be a target, especially at the sort of prices that are being thrown around.
So what ????????♂️ we won’t get him or anyone else for that matter

Interest has been there all summer, but the price was the issue. Bristol Post has ruled many Premier League teams out and put Boro and #lufc as remaining teams.

Rumoured to be between £7-12m BECAUSE he’s out of contract at end of season

Stop pretending Leeds are interested and are actually in the running to sign these players,it’s all wishful thinking ffs

Start negotiating now and he should be in for push after Christmas if we're out of contention pull out of deal

I'd be happy if we spent that much on the team let alone a player.

No chance he’s coming to lufc on those terms
— Mark Devaney (@markwd1) July 18, 2018
He would be a great signing but if we are competing with other teams they will win any bidding war.

Unless he's available for a loan then Leeds won't sign him! ????????

A full back that I rate. Good attacking player and good defensively too. With only a season left on his contract I wouldn't pay silly money for him though!But, when you look at the current world transfer market players that would normally go for single figures,now have a 0 attach
