Leeds United are one of several clubs to monitor in-demand attacker Jake Hastie from Scottish Premiership club Motherwell.

According to the Daily Record, Motherwell are bracing themselves for offers for the 20-year-old in the summer.

It is understood that representatives from Leeds, Norwich, West Brom, Swansea and Sunderland have all watched him in action this season.

The report details the English clubs have been alerted to the fact that he could be snapped up for a cut price development fee at the end of the season, as he’s no closer to extending his contract after a breakthrough year.

There is now a rush of interest in the Scotsman and he could be a potential gem that Leeds should be looking to unearth by winning the race for him.

Hastie spent the first half of the season impressing on loan with Alloa Athletic in the Scottish second-tier, but was recalled in January

The left-winger has made five appearances for Motherwell in 2019 since returning and has dazzled.

He’s already scored four goals and supplied one assist in just five appearances for them.

Hastie is a left-footed wide man with immense potential and he’s proving himself to be a force in the Scottish Premiership, which is why Leeds should be first in line to snap him up for a bargain fee in the summer.

Marcelo Bielsa has shown his desire to promote youth during his time at Elland Road and that should help tempt the player to move to Yorkshire.
