Archie Brown, a left-back for Gent in high demand, has been scouted by Leeds United, Chelsea, Brentford and West Ham, according to HITC.
The news source stated on March 4 that he may be returning to England in the summer, and that several Premier League teams, including Leeds, have been considering him.
In 2021, the 21-year-old attended Derby County before moving to Lausanne-Sport.
Perhaps Brown isn’t going to Leeds United
Due to competition from wealthier clubs, namely Chelsea, who are also scouting the English defender, the Whites may have trouble signing Brown.
The battle for Brown’s signature is greatly heightened by Chelsea’s interest, as they possess the financial means and Premier League standing to make an alluring offer.
The competition is further intensified by West Ham’s engagement, which shows that other Premier League clubs are very interested.
Leeds may find it difficult to match the financial offers and prestige that elite teams like Chelsea and possibly West Ham can bring, even though they are currently vying for promotion in the Championship.
Moreover, Brown’s desire for Premier League football with well-established teams may influence his decision to go elsewhere, making it more difficult for the Whites to sign the gifted defender.
Leeds might not require a left-back in the summer since Junior Firpo is playing well and has overcome his injury problems.
