Carlisle United attacker Liam McCarron has been receiving plenty of interest this summer. Plenty of teams in the Football League and Premier League have been linked with the player in recent weeks.

Now, days after the Carlisle United director of football David Holdsworth confirmed to the News and Star that there was interest in the teenager, reports of an impending bid have made the nationals.

Leeds United are the team involved.

The Daily Mail is suggesting that the West Yorkshire side is ready to get the jump on their transfer rivals by making a £250,000 bid for the player.

The report suggests Leeds hope the promise of a more likely first-team pathway could convince McCarron to head to Elland Road this summer.

The 18-year-old made 20 appearances for the League Two side last season, providing one assist.

This certainly looks like a deal Leeds United could pull off. Some Leeds fans are undoubtedly hoping for bigger names to start filtering into the press, which has left them underwhelmed at the news of the McCarron pursuit.

But plenty of others welcome the news that Leeds continue to improve the options coming through at under-23 level.

Here is some of the best reaction…
