    Bristol City star would be perfect for Leeds: He should be their top transfer target
    LEEDS UNITED are likely to be busy in the January transfer window - and the Whites should use the opportunity to plug their problematic left-back spot.

    Leeds should consider signing Bristol City left-back Joe Bryan

    Elland Road chiefs attempted to fill the void left by Charlie Taylor’s summer departure to Burnley by signing Cameron Borthwick-Jackson on a season-long loan from Manchester United.
    But the 20-year-old - currently sidelined by an ankle problem - has failed to impress.
    Gaetano Berardi remains a decent option, but they could easily source an upgrade.

    Leeds may be casting their transfer net far-and-wide since Andrea Radrizzani’s takeover but their best bet is to raid a Championship rival.
    And
    Bristol City left-back Joe Bryan is the perfect man for the job.
    The 24-year-old is an ever-present, playing every minute for the Robins since the start of the season.
    He’s a sound defender, making the second-highest number of tackles in the Championship this term, with a 54 per cent success rate.

    Bryan also has a terrific engine and is capable of getting up the wing with regular success.
    He’s about to enter the final 18 months of his contract, but it would be a surprise for City to sell to a promotion rival in the middle of the campaign.


    Leeds were linked with a summer move for Bryan and team-mate Aden Flint, but Robins boss Lee Johnson recently claimed the speculation was false.
    He said: "It wasn't true. So I think that is the easiest way to answer that one.
    "It was all tweets and hearsay but it wasn't true.
    "Certainly no information game to me and I am sure I would be the first to know if that had been the case."
    Leeds have cash to burn thanks to the summer sale of Chris Wood, so they could put in a big enough bid - but would City be tempted to sell?

    Why would he bother when the possibility of a decent Prem side may come along if he keeps playing the way he is?

    Why would he want to stay in the Championship with Leeds when he could play in the Prem with us?

    You could turn that thinking around.

    Because he’s Bristol born and bred and won’t leave the club who brought him up....?

    Maybe you're right but what if he is offered Premier wages,he would be a fool not to just because he speaks with a 'Brr'

    The thing is now, after the season he is having we can look for anything up to 10 million. No championship team has a chance of buying him. He’s prem bound next season I think, hopefully with us!

    Yeah I think we will really struggle to keep hold of Bryan, but Leeds? Really? I know they're a massive club but in football terms that isn't a step up right now, and definitely not the right move for a player who could go to the Prem.

    I'm not too worried about this one.

    No chance to Leeds in Jan, they couldn't afford what it would take to persuade LJ & SL to part with him. If Leeds ended up going up in May and we don't it could well be a different story, but not now

    we need to put him on a extra 4 year deal! any extra wages would be recouped in a deal a couple years time if still as good, by length of contract remaining!
