Leeds want to sign £9m midfielder deemed a ‘superstar in the making’

Leeds United have reportedly set their sights on Bu💜✃rnley’s Josh Brownhill along with several other clubs.

Central midfielder is argua✤🃏bly the weakest area in Daniel Farke’s Whites team right now.

And if Tyler Adams ends up leaving Leeds, then Farke’s need to bolster his midfield ranks will be e🍌ven stronger.

With that in mind, there’s certainly scope for the Whites to bring a quality🦋 midfielder to Elland Road before September.

A𓆉ccording to , Leeds are keen on Brownhill, whose future with the Clarets looks uncertain.

The 27-year-old’s contract expires ne𝓡xt summer, and is no nearer to agreeing an ex🐼tension.

Wiꦐth that in mind, a parting of the w🐼ays “looks increasingly likely” before the window shuts on September 1.

‘Unbelievable’

Brownhill would be a great shout for a Leeds side eager to bounce back into the Premieꦦr League at the first time of asking.

He boasts at both Pꦕremier League and Championship level, and at😼 27, he’s in his prime.

Brownhill was very impressiv🅰e last season, registering seven goals and eight assists in ꦜthe second tier.

The all-round midfielder’s 15 goal in🍸volvements were more♛ than any current team-mate last season.

As per the Premier League , Brownhill’s 72 key passes we♍re a team-leading total, while his 5ཧ7 shots placed fourth.

Former boss Lee Johnson waxed lyrical about Brownhill 💦when he was at Bris⛄tol City, saying he looked like a future star.

“First and foremost, Josh is just 🤪an unbelievable lad,” Johnson saidಌ, as per the in 2019.

“He’s been a very good student and I took him on loan to B🅰arnsley and could see a superstar in the making.

“He can tackle, he ca💯n get up and down, he’s bright﷽ with his football brain.

“He’s got a goal in him, he has good 🌳set-piece delivery and free-kicks from the edge of the box.

“He’s the 🧸first in and last out and 🍸every day he comes in and tries to get better.

“He must go down as one of thꦜe value signings in Bristol City’s history.”

Brownhill ha𓆉s been an asset for Burnley since his reported £9million move in 2020.

If he does leave, then any club that signs him will be very lucky. Will Leeds be the beneficia꧑ries?
