Leeds United are interested in signing Sheffield United right-back Jayden Bogle.
The 23-year-old is in the final year of his contract after being handed a one-year extension this summer and Leeds are monitoring his situation. They are in the market for a right-back following the £40million ($51.9m) departure of Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the window, with the 18-year-old playing the majority of his 44 league appearances last season there.
Bogle joined Sheffield United from Derby County in 2020 on an initial four-year contract along with Max Lowe. The England under-20 international played 34 times in the Premier League last season under Chris Wilder and Paul Heckingbottom and has scored 12 goals in 103 appearances for the club.
Leeds are also in an advanced situation for the permanent transfer of central midfielder Glen Kamara to Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Kamara joined United last summer from Rangers for a fee in the region of £5m and made 37 appearances in the Championship last season.

Leeds are set to nearly double the fee they paid for the Finland international, who played an important role under Daniel Farke but failed to score a goal and registered three assists last season.
The club announced the arrival of Joe Rothwell on loan from Bournemouth and they view the central midfielder as a candidate for the number eight role Kamara occupied.
Rothwell was Leeds’ third signing of the window following the arrivals of goalkeeper Alex Cairns and defender Joe Rodon on permanent deals from Salford City and Spurs respectively.
