Leeds United want to sign Gent defender Archie Brown after watching him closely this season, according to TBR Football.

The online news outlet reported on 9 November that interest is growing with Tottenham, Chelsea and West Ham among the clubs mentioned.

Leeds are said to have monitoring the left-back, who left England to move to Belgium with Gent after breaking through at Derby County.

This definitely appears to be one for next summer.

With the calibre of other clubs interested, Leeds will need to get back to the Premier League before they can jump to the front of the queue for his signature.

Daniel Farke also admitted that he was unhappy with Firpo after the 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers on 9 November, after he was suspended by the FA.

His three-match ban was confirmed for violent conduct after he appeared to headbutt Millwall defender Danny McNamara, despite denying the charge.

With all of that considered, plus the potential return to the Premier League, it looks to be a safe strategy to target someone like Brown, who now has a European pedigree behind his name.

This is certainly one to watch in the coming months at Elland Road.
