Leeds United have joined Middlesbrough, Crystal Palace, Everton, Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the hunt for Burnley’s Josh Brownhill, according to TEAMTALK.
The 27-year-old is in demand this summer, following his side’s Championship title triumph under the stewardship of Vincent Kompany. Brownhill had been a vital component of The Claret’s successful season, having captained the team for much of the campaign. However, the recently promoted side have added 25-year-old Norwegian midfielder Sander Berge from Sheffield United, who started ahead of his teammate for their opening Premier League fixture against Manchester City.
With less than a year remaining on his contract and seemingly relegated to a spot on the bench, a departure from the club seems likely despite his manager hoping to keep him as part of the squad. With the window closing in a matter of weeks, it could be one of the last opportunities the club have to receive a fee for a player who is still a highly saleable asset.
Wolverhampton Wanderers appear to be at the head of the pack, and likely to make an approach for the player, with recently appointed Gary O’Neil eagerly wanting to make improvements ahead of the fast approaching deadline. Fellow Premier League sides Everton and Crystal Palace are also keen alongside Championship sides Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Leicester City who will all be targeting promotion to the top flight this season.
Brownhill has appeared 133 times for Burnley since joining in January 2020 also contributing ten goals in all competitions. He has also been on the books of Bristol City, Preston North End, Barnsley as well as the Manchester United Academy.
