Leeds United want to sign Liverpool sensation Conor Bradley on loan in January transfer window
Leeds United are one of a number of clubs who want to sign Liverpool sensation Conor Bradley on loan in January, according to TEAMtalk.
Writing on their website (15 December), the news outlet report that up to half a dozen clubs from the Premier League and Championship want to sign the 20-year-old Northern Ireland international right-back.
And Klopp is ready to sanction a temporary exit away from Anfield to get him more regular first-team football, with Leeds among the interested parties in getting a deal done.
“TEAMtalk has been informed Liverpool are ready to loan out defensive prospect Conor Bradley in January and are fielding enquiries from a host of clubs,” they wrote.
“TEAMtalk has been told that up to a dozen clubs have made contact with the Reds as Bradley would be a player in real demand if they allowed him to leave.
“Among those interested are Burnley, Leeds, Middlesbrough and West Brom.”
Depth
Full-back has definitely been a bit of an issue for Leeds this season, but Daniel Farke has made it work with different solutions and his attacking style of play.
Luke Ayling has dropped down the pecking order, Djed Spence has just returned from injury, Junior Firpo and Sam Byram have had their injury problems this season and both Archie Gray and Jamie Shackleton have played at full-back more often than their natural midfield positions this season.
So if Farke wants to strengthen his midfield with those natural options more, then bringin in a new full-back would be the ideal way for him to do that and Bradley is a super talented player.
He’s young, coachable and hungry to make it and still has international experience for Northern Ireland so it wouldn’t be the craziest signing either.
Farke will definitely prioritise a left-back if anything this winter, but this deal shouldn’t be completely overlooked in the coming weeks.
