According to The Athletic (h/t Leeds Live), Leeds United are eyeing a swoop for Wigan Athletic’s teenage forward Joe Gelhardt, who is also on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs.
Wigan could be forced to offload a number of players this summer after being placed into administration. And clubs are looking to make the most of the situation to pry away footballers from the club, with Gelhardt being one such player in demand. (h/t Leeds Live)
Gelhardt has featured 17 times in the EFL Championship in the 2019/20 campaign, with his only senior goal coming against Hull City back in September last year.
Despite the lack of experience, a host of clubs are lining up his signature owing to the potential that the teenage forward possesses. Premier League outfits such as Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Southampton are all interested, with Scottish champions Celtic in the fray too. (h/t Leeds Live)
And now, Leeds United have also joined the hunt for the England youth international. The Whites, on the verge of promotion to the Premier League, need reinforcements up front, with Patrick Bamford and Tyler Roberts the only strikers at Marcelo Bielsa’s disposal.
But it remains to be seen if they will be able to close a deal for Gelhardt given the number of clubs interested.
