Leeds United and Southampton battling for ‘interested’ Derby County defender’

The 21-year-old, a senior Republic of Ireland international, currently plies his trade in Italy with Udinese. He joined the club in 2022, making the move after cutting his teeth in the professional game with Derby.

He has impressed in Serie A, featuring as an attacking full-back and wide midfielder under Udinese boss Gabriele Cioffi.

HITC claims that several English clubs, notably Championship teams Leeds, Southampton, and Watford, have been keeping an eye on him. But Premier League clubs are also rumoured to have been keeping an eye on him.
Everton and West Ham United are also rumoured to have observed the defender in action, in addition to Tottenham. Tottenham is rumoured to be searching all around Europe for possible wing-back recruits.

This season, the Leeds defense’s right side has seen a great deal of alteration. Soon after Rasmus Kristensen joined Roma on loan, in January, Luke Ayling and Djed Spence also left Elland Road.

Archie Grey, a youthful midfielder, has been making an impression at right back, but Connor Roberts, a January loan addition, will now compete with him.
