# Leeds United: Whites interested in swoop for Harrison Reed

**Leeds United are reportedly lining up a move for Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed, as reported by the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9668803/Leeds-set-make-summer-swoop-Fulham-star-Harrison-Reed.html).**

### The Lowdown: Leeds United eye new summer recruits

As Marcelo Bielsa’s men gear up for a second season back in the top-flight, they have seemingly turned their attentions towards the 26-year-old.

Despite not yet venturing into the summer transfer window, the Whites have been heavily linked with plenty of players, mainly left-backs like [Nicolas Tagliafico](https://www.footballfancast.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-united-marcelo-bielsa-ajax-nicolas-tagliafico-transfer-premier-league-gossip-rumours-news-elland-road-lionel-messi).

Midfield strengthening will also be a priority for Bielsa ahead of pre-season it seems, following previous injury scares in the closing stages of the 2020/21 for star anchor man Kalvin Phillips \[[The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/kalvin-phillips-injury-leeds-england-euro-2020/ikATmOYuo0b2)\].

### The Latest: Reed has reportedly attracted attention from Elland Road

Leeds are now interested in Reed as they build towards next campaign thanks to his eye-catching performances for relegated Fulham last year \[[Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9668803/Leeds-set-make-summer-swoop-Fulham-star-Harrison-Reed.html)\].

Looking to build squad depth, there could be a chance that the Yorkshiremen could acquire the former Southampton man for a favourable price, due to the inevitable valuation drop-off set off by Fulham’s relegation to the Sky Bet Championship.

The report does add however that the Whites are not the only ones tracking the midfielder.

### The Verdict: Consistent performer

Undoubtedly, Reed would represent an intelligent signing for Leeds United as they build towards 2021/22.

Making 31 Premier League appearances across 2020/21 \[[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-reed/leistungsdaten/spieler/226973)\], he recorded an impressive 86.2% passing accuracy for his current employers, demonstrating his propensity to recycle possession effectively\[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/135724/Show/Harrison-Reed)\].

He also showed his defensive qualities with nearly two tackles on average per 90 minutes \[[WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/135724/Show/Harrison-Reed)\], and was labelled as ‘tremendous’ by manager Scott Parker in January due to his consistent level of performance for the Cottagers \[[West London Sport](https://www.westlondonsport.com/fulham/fulham-man-in-his-best-ever-form-says-parker)\].

An adaptable footballer, Leeds United should look to make Reed one of their first recruits of the new season. Possessing a diverse range of capabilities, the midfielder could slot in well to an already talented group of players.
