Leeds United have made enquiries for Derby County youngster Louie Sibley, with the Yorkshire Evening Post reporting that Victor Orta has confirmed that the 19-year-old is on the club’s radar.

The Whites seemed to enjoy a very impressive summer. Marcelo Bielsa’s first-team has been bolstered with a number of marquee additions. Meanwhile, Leeds have also added some incredibly exciting youngsters to their ranks.

And it looks as though the club are looking to continue that strategy moving forward.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Orta has suggested that Leeds are monitoring Sibley. And the report claims that the Whites have made enquiries for the Derby man.

The Yorkshire Evening Post adds however, that Leeds are not planning to make a move before the transfer window shuts on Friday.

TBR View: Sibley looks an exciting talent who Leeds are wise to monitor

Sibley looks to be a seriously exciting talent. He scored five goals in just 11 Championship games last season for the Rams.

And his debut came in the same season in which he scored a stunning hat-trick for Derby’s under-23s against Leeds.

It may be too soon to suggest with much certainty whether he will be capable of playing at the highest level.

So it looks to be an extremely smart move from Leeds to keep him on their radar for future windows.
