Leeds United are reportedly one of three clubs eyeing midfielder Reegan Mimnaugh from Scottish Premiership club Hamilton.

According to Herald Scotland, the Whites are interested in the highly-rated teenager and he’s started to attract eyes from England.

It is understood that Leeds are joined by Fulham and also Premier League outfit Tottenham in monitoring the 17-year-old Scottish talent.

The report details that he’s entering the final months of his contract with Hamilton and clubs may be queuing up for him.

Mimnaugh has only managed two first-team appearances so far this season, but did break into the first-team at Hamilton during the last campaign and did earn minutes in the top-flight.

He’s a central midfielder that has come through the academy and is being tipped for a move to English football.

TBR’s View:

Leeds have shown in recent years they have a real knack of developing young talent at Elland Road and there is a genuine path from the academy to the first-team with them.

It may be difficult to fight to beat off competition from Spurs in Hamilton’s teenage star, but it’s an intriguing battle they should try win.

Whites manager Marcelo Bielsa has introduced so many youngsters already during his time in Yorkshire and has faith in the academy.
