# Leeds United: Bielsa and co interested in Osaze Urhoghide

**Leeds United look to be scouting for future talent and this has seen them linked with a move for a Championship starlet in Osaze Urhoghide.**

### The latest transfer rumours

According to [Football League World](https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-leeds-united-crystal-palace-and-watford-among-clubs-eyeing-sheffield-wednesday-player/), a host of clubs in England are keeping tabs on his situation.

The young defender is expected to be a free-agent in the summer ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/osaze-urhoghide/profil/spieler/491738)), with Leeds United, Crystal Palace and Watford among those monitoring the 20-year-old.

### This could be a good signing for Leeds

The 20-year-old defender started to emerge from the Sheffield Wednesday academy at the end of last season and has featured 12 times for the club since making his first-team debut in January 2020 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/osaze-urhoghide/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/491738/verein/1035)). Ten of these appearances have been in the Championship.

With various sides interested in the player, he clearly has some potential and Leeds would do well to pip the other interested parties to his signature. They already have quite a strong starting eleven, proven by the fact that they are [eleventh](https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/england/premier-league/17) in the top flight, so a player like Urhoghide who likely wouldn’t break into the first XI immediately is a risk worth taking, as there is no immediate need for mass changes in the first team.
