Sheffield United and Rangers ‘monitoring’ West Ham United man who is of ‘interest’ to Leeds United
The defender Ben Johnson of West Ham United, who is also connected to Leeds United, is allegedly being watched by Sheffield United and Rangers.
This season, the Hammers academy graduate has only managed two league appearances due to a lack of opportunities in the Premier League. Leeds has been connected to him, but the Whites aren’t said to have launched a formal bid.
If they try to entice Johnson to Elland Road, they might have a fight on their hands since, according to Mail Online, Rangers and Sheffield United are keeping an eye on him.
According to reports, West Ham will demand payment for the defender, whose contract expires at the end of the current campaign. According to the article, he hasn’t agreed to the terms of any new contract proposals.
Consolidating defensively seems to be a top concern for Sheffield United because they have given up more goals than any other Premier League team this season. The losses of Luke Ayling and Djed Spence, meanwhile, have left Leeds shorthanded in the defensive department.
While the long-serving Ayling was permitted to join Middlesbrough on loan until the conclusion of the season, Leeds chose to terminate Spence’s loan stay early.
In spite of being connected to numerous players, Daniel Farke’s team has not yet been expanded during this transfer window.
