# Leeds: Whites could make Harrison Ashby offer

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) could reportedly make an offer for West Ham defender Harrison Ashby in the New Year.**

### The Lowdown: Leeds linked with Ashby

Ashby, who shares the [same agent](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wasserman/beraterfirma/berater/440) as Brenden Aaronson, was a late target for the Whites in the summer transfer window. [Reports](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-had-late-move-for-harrison-ashby-blocked/) suggested that the Hammers blocked a move from Leeds for the youngster, with Newcastle also thought to be keen.

The 20-year-old, who is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-ashby/profil/spieler/559130) a right-back who can also line out at centre-back, has made [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-ashby/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/559130/verein/379) senior appearances under David Moyes, but it looks as if he could be on the move soon.

### The Latest: Ashby transfer update

[Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammer-looks-nailed-on-for-january-exit/) relayed an update from [The West Ham Way](https://www.thewesthamway.com/2022/11/10/ashby-heading-for-exit/) regarding Ashby on Thursday.

They claimed that the defender looks nailed-on for a January exit and that Leeds could look to table a bid over the coming months.

### The Verdict: Perkins 2.0?

Leeds managed to sign exciting forward Sonny Perkins from West Ham in the summer, with the youngster making his [senior Whites debut](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sonny-perkins/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/670877/verein/399) in midweek.

The 18-year-old has scored [seven](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sonny-perkins/leistungsdaten/spieler/670877) Premier League 2 goals in [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sonny-perkins/leistungsdaten/spieler/670877) appearances this season, with the two clubs [still yet to agree on](https://www.leedsallover.com/sonny-perkins-at-leeds-united-hows-it-been-going-have-they-agreed-compensation-with-west-ham-yet-is-he-close-to-the-first-team/#:~:text=Have%20Leeds%20agreed%20compensation%20with%20West%20Ham%3F) a compensation fee.

Ashby, who has been hailed as [‘fearless’](https://thisisfutbol.com/2020/09/blogs/premier-league/west-ham-united-journalists-praise-harrison-ashby/) by West Ham podcaster Sam Delaney, could therefore follow in Perkins’ footsteps with a move to Yorkshire. If he does, it may prove to be another academy coup by Victor Orta, Andrea Radrizzani and 49ers Enterprises.
