da bet7k: Phil Hay has discussed Leeds United’s pursuit of Jarrod Bowen during a Q&A on The Athletic.
What did he say?
da marjack bet: Leeds have made a move for the Hull City winger, which Alan Nixon has suggested puts the decision in the hands of the Tigers.
Following on from the 1-0 loss at the hands of Queens Park Rangers, Leeds fans were keen to discuss transfers, with one putting special focus on their reported pursuit of Bowen.
When asked the question, Hay replied:
“Leeds like him but having asked at the Hull end, it doesn’t sound like they’d contemplate the sort of deal Leeds would be offering – loan with obligation to buy. Imagine being Hull’s owners and trying to explain to their fanbase that you’d loaned Leeds their best player as Leeds try to get promoted.”
A big disappointment
If Leeds do end up missing out on Bowen then it could certainly be seen as a big disappointment for the club as they look to get promoted from the Championship.
Especially following a game in which the team failed to score, even despite having a penalty, it is clear that the 23-year-old’s influence in the final third can be something that Leeds would benefit from.
From 28 Championship games this season, he has scored 16 goals and added a further six assists – getting six more goals than Patrick Bamford.
As Hay mentioned, it is definitely understandable that Hull don’t want to let him leave on an initial loan, considering just how influential he has been for them.
Virtually impossible: Can you name the year all of these Leeds flops arrived at Elland Road?
They currently sit five points off of a playoff spot, with Bowen a key part of that, so it is only natural that they are reluctant to let him leave now.
It could soon become apparent how much Leeds truly want him, as it seems they will need to improve their offer significantly to sign the winger.
Meanwhile, Patrick Bamford has been slammed by a former Leeds striker.
