Leeds United defender Leif Davis is attracting interest from League One promotion hopefuls Ipswich Town, according to the East Anglian Daily Times. Davis, who joined Leeds in 2018 from Morecambe, is heading into the final year of his contract at Elland Road.
The 22-year-old spent last season on loan at AFC Bournemouth, making 15 appearances as he helped the club claim automatic promotion to the Premier League. In January, he was named as Bournemouth's player of the month, claiming 60.9% of the votes on a Twitter poll after starting three of their four competitive matches.
However, Davis only featured in two of the Cherries' final 17 league games after sustaining an injury against Derby County on March 12. He returned to Elland Road towards the end of the season but was ineligible to feature in any of the Whites' remaining Premier League games.

Bournemouth did have the option to make Davis' loan into a permanent move this summer for a fee of £1.5million, but the club decided against it. Now back at Leeds, Davis is competing with Junior Firpo for the left-back spot.
The versatile defender has made 14 first-team appearances for Leeds, five of which have come in cup competitions. He is still yet to make his first Premier League start, with his two top-flight appearances coming from the bench against Manchester City and Manchester United in 2020.
