Leeds should turn attention to £5m-rated Jarrod Bowen

Leeds United are reportedly circling for Huddersfield winger Rajiv Van La Parra ahead of the January transfer window.

According to the Sun, Marcelo Bielsa’s side are tracking the Premier League target alongside Championship rivals Middlesbrough.

It is understood that the 27-year-old attacker could cost around £5million, but he’s struggled to make a serious impact in the top flight and would be a risky addition at Elland Road.

Bielsa could find much better value for money at the £5million range and that is why the Yorkshire giants should consider turning attention to Hull City’s Jarrod Bowen.

Leeds should try gatecrash interest in the 22-year-old and make him a priority target for the New Year.

Bowen has been in brilliant form in the Championship this season for Hull, scoring six goals and supplying three assists in 22 games.

The English wide man is a dazzling left-footed ace that has a lethal shot on him and is the type of January signing that would improve the Leeds XI.

Bowen would be a wiser £5million investment for any club to make given his form and potential, while Van La Parra is likely to need some time to get up to full speed.
