# Leeds: Whites make Harrison Ashby offer

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have made a deadline day offer for West Ham’s Harrison Ashby.**

### The Lowdown: Ashby profiled

The 20-year-old is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-ashby/profil/spieler/559130) a right-back who can also line out at centre-back. The Scotland under-21 international 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 and is under the same [agency](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wasserman/beraterfirma/berater/440) as Leeds forward Luis Sinisterra.

Ashby has made [six](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-ashby/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/559130/verein/379) senior appearances for the Hammers, [one](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/harrison-ashby/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/559130/verein/379) of which came this season in a Europa Conference League qualifier.

### The Latest: Leeds bid

According to reliable reporter Alan Nixon via [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/posts/leeds-in-for-ham-71354062?utm_medium=post_notification_email&utm_source=post_link&utm_campaign=patron_engagement&token=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJyZWRpc19rZXkiOiJpYTo0ODc1MzgyYi00MWU0LTQ2NzktOGI1ZS05NjIzOGIzMWM1MTAiLCJwb3N0X2lkIjo3MTM1NDA2MiwicGF0cm9uX2lkIjo2NTU5Mjc4Mn0.JYe1ic5PXYR4bTiPgjTpnsLedxA9gMZE20N332BGwr8) on deadline day, as relayed by [MOT Leeds News](https://motleedsnews.com/news/leeds-united-make-surprise-late-bid-to-sign-west-ham-right-back-harrison-ashby/), Leeds have made a ‘surprise late bid’ for Ashby.

Nixon added that the player is open to leaving the London Stadium and would get more game-time with the Whites.

### The Verdict: Promising

Ashby sounds like an exciting youngster who can play in two defensive positions. The Whites have already added to their academy ranks this summer by bringing in [Darko Gyabi](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/30027/darko-gyabi-completes-leeds-united-transfer) from Manchester City and [Sonny Perkins](https://www.leedsunited.com/news/team-news/30111/sonny-perkins-signs-for-leeds-united) from West Ham, so the Scottish gem could be another shrewd long-term addition.

However, Leeds’ priority should be a new forward, and it looks as if Marseille striker [Bamba Dieng](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1565287074588250112) is their new priority first-team target, meaning it could be a frantic final few hours for Andrea Radrizzani, Victor Ort and co at Elland Road.
