Leeds United have registered their interest in Stoke City defender Josh Tymon, according to Football Insider.

The Lowdown: Tymon profiled

Hailed as ‘quick’ by his manager Michael O’Neill, Tymon is primarily a left-back who can also play as a left-sided midfielder when required and has been with Stoke since 2017.

Formerly an England under-20 international, the 23-year-old has made 87 senior appearances for the Potters, contributing to eight goals.

Described as the ‘nutmeg king’ following 14 of them in the Championship last season, it looks as if Tymon could be on the move this summer, with a number of clubs interested in his services.

The Latest: Source shares Tymon update

Football Insider shared a story regarding Tymon on Wednesday afternoon after being informed by a recruitment source.

They claimed that Leeds and Norwich City have both registered their interest in the full-back, joining Rangers in the race for his signature. The report adds that Stoke value Tymon at £6m and have been reluctant to sell.

The Verdict: Needed?

It looks as if Jesse Marsch is going to give Junior Firpo another chance to impress at Elland Road next season, although the Spaniard is the only senior left-back available to the 48-year-old, so bringing in someone like Tymon could be a wise move.

The Whites have spent £95m so far this summer, although none of the six additions is a defender, even with Leeds conceding a whopping 79 goals in 38 league games last season.

Charles De Ketelaere appears to be the club’s final marquee target, although it looks as if an under-the-radar move for Tymon could be on the cards as well.
