Leeds fans excited as January-linked star reportedly available for just £6m

Bristol City wing wizard Callum O’Dowda is reportedly available for a bargain £6million this summer despite signing an extension – and Leeds United fans are excited on Twitter.

The Times claim the 24-year-old winger was eyed by Leeds in January for a huge £10million. Leeds opted to shelve their interest in the Irishman and sign Daniel James from Swansea City, only for a move to fall through.

Now, Bristol City are said to be willing to do business for the ex-Oxford United star at just £6million this summer, which could tempt Leeds to reignite their interest in the 15-time Ireland international.

Leeds are likely to be in the market for a new winger this summer. Pablo Hernandez’s play-off performance against Derby is proof that he needs to play in the 10 role, rather than out wide.

Jack Harrison has returned to Manchester City after his loan and some reports claim Pep Guardiola’s side want a whopping £20million for his services. It is likely to price Leeds out of a move for the England youth international.

Gjanni Alioski, Jack Clarke and Stuart Dallas are options but Leeds have got to bring in cover for those three, and O’Dowda could be a potential signing given his new bargain price tag.

Leeds fans reacted on Twitter to the news that Bristol City would sell O’Dowda for a much cheaper price than his January value, and many are desperate to see Victor Orta lure him to Yorkshire.
