Leeds United are interested in a deal to bring Josh Tymon to Elland Road in the summer transfer window.

What's the talk?

That's according to a report by Football Insider, who claim a source has revealed that, following reports of Glasgow Rangers' interest in a move for the Stoke City left-back this summer, both Leeds and Norwich City have now joined the race for the 23-year-old's signature.

It is suggested that both the Premier League and Championship side have informed the Potters of their interest in the former England U20 international, while it is also claimed that Michael O'Neill would be willing to sanction the defender's sale this summer - as long as he is to receive an offer in the region of £6m.

"An outstanding young talent"

Considering just how exciting a prospect Tymon undoubtedly is, the news that Leeds now look to have been given the green light to make a move for the full-back is undoubtedly fantastic for everyone involved with the club.

Indeed, the £1.62m-rated talent highly impressed over his 44 Championship appearances last season, scoring one goal, registering four assists and creating a whopping 14 big chances for his teammates, as well as making an average of 1.2 key passes, taking 0.7 shots and completing 1.1 dribbles per game.

The £7.1k-per-week defender who Steve Bruce dubbed "an outstanding young talent" also impressed in metrics more typical of his position, making an average of 1.3 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, 1.3 clearances, 25.7 passes, 1.3 long balls and winning 3.7 duels per fixture.

As such, with left-back having been something of a problem position for Jesse Marsch last season - with Junior Firpo struggling to adapt to the pace of Premier League football - the signing of a new player in the position would appear to be an extremely wise move for Victor Orta to make this summer.

And, considering just how exciting a prospect Tymon appears to be, £6m could very quickly look to be an absolute bargain for the Whites.
