Leeds United are reportedly interested in signing young Rangers defender Jack Wylie. That is according to Football Insider, who claim that the Whites will battle it out with Arsenal for the signature of the Scottish starlet.
Both Leeds and Arsenal are said to have sent scouts to watch Wylie in action for Rangers and Scotland’s Under-16s side, with the two clubs impressed with what they’ve seen. Rangers are fearful of losing Wylie as he is not eligible to sign professional terms until he turns 16 in January, which could allow Leeds to swoop in.
Should he make the move to Elland Road, Wylie would not be the first Glasgow-based starlet to make the switch this season. Leeds secured the arrival of Celtic goalkeeper Rory Mahady last month, who has already featured for the club’s Under-18s side.
