Leeds United bid update emerges amid Harrison Burrows transfer development
Leeds United have not had a bid accepted for Peterborough United wing-back Harrison Burrows, according to Joe Donnohue.
The Yorkshire Evening Post journalist took to X on 23 July to clarify claims on the 2023/24 League One Player of the Season after Peterborough’s chairman Darragh MacAnthony hinted that Whites could be among the clubs keen on signing the 22-year-old.
However, thus far, Leeds are not considering a move for the Englishman.
Donnohue wrote on X: “Understand #LUFC are not one of the clubs to have seen a bid accepted for Peterborough left-back Harrison Burrows. No suggestion Leeds are in for the 22 y/o despite comments made on national radio this morning.”
Harrison Burrows would be a decent signing for Leeds United
The 22-year-old left-back from Peterborough would be a promising addition to Leeds’ squad.
Despite recent clarification that the Whites are not currently considering a move for Burrows, the young defender possesses qualities that could greatly benefit them.
Burrows has been a standout performer in League One, showcasing his versatility as a left-back who excels in both defensive duties and attacking contributions.
In the 2023/24 season, he contributed significantly to Peterborough’s campaign, making 45 appearances and providing six goals and 14 assists.
His ability to deliver from set-pieces and create opportunities in the final third would add a new dimension to Leeds United’s attacking play.
Moreover, Burrows’ energy and pace down the left flank would provide Leeds with a dynamic option in defence and help in their build-up play.
With Junior Firpo’s contract set to expire in 2025, and with the possibility of the club cashing in on him, Burrows could serve as a long-term replacement.
