Leeds United is interested in signing West Ham defender Ben Johnson.
The Whites have been keen on Johnson for some time, particularly as they continue to gear up for another season in the Championship as right-back is one area that needs to be strengthened.
West Ham’s Offer
News coming out is that West Ham has slapped a new 5 year deal on the table to make sure Johnson remains at the club.
But Johnson, who has turned down several offers in the past, has hesitated over committing because he fears a lack of game time.
Martial made just four appearances in the Premier League last term.
Leeds’ Dilemma
Is Johnson good enough defensively, since Leeds are said to like him, and if he is, then surely they’ll encounter some trouble.
Uncertainty surrounds the wage demands of Johnson and whether he would be willing to drop down to the Championship.
Leeds will have to put in some hard work to tempt Peacock-Farrell to stay, be that with consistent game time or potentially meeting his wage demands.
Make no mistake that Johnson rejecting Leeds would be a huge blow to their defensive options as they are looking to strengthen for the new campaign.
Fans will be desperate to learn soon if this particular deal is going to land a success story.
