Harrogate Town manager Simon Weaver has claimed that no approach for Max Dean has been made amid reports that they want to take the youngster on loan. The 18-year-old is entering the final year of his Leeds United contract and is yet to have stepped up to the first team.
A loan move to a club in the EFL for the upcoming season is likely to be something the Whites are looking to explore. League Two side Harrogate would make plenty of sense for a number of reasons and the rumours may still come to fruition but Weaver revealed that no approach has been made.
"We are aware of Max Dean, he plays for a big club nearby and is a real talent, so we ought to be aware of him," he told the Harrogate Advertiser. “We've been looking at him. We want to add someone in the forward area and he's one of quite a few we have looked at.
