Leeds United are closing in on the signing of Callum O’Hare from Coventry City, according to his friend and former teammate Alan Hutton. O’Hare is set to leave Coventry when his contract expires on June 30 and will be available on a free transfer, with Leeds poised to swoop in and sign him.
Hutton, who played alongside O’Hare at Aston Villa, believes that the 26-year-old midfielder would be an excellent signing for Leeds United. “He fits the bill that Leeds like, he’s an exciting player,” Hutton told Football Insider. “Especially if they’re going to lose somebody like Summerville or Rutter, who could possibly be leaving this summer as well.”O’Hare has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, including West Ham, Aston Villa, and Southampton, but Hutton believes that Leeds United are in the driving seat to sign him. “I know Callum O’Hare well, I’ve played alongside him when I was at Villa,” Hutton said. “He’s very technically gifted, he’s got an eye for a pass, and he can score goals.
He’s still at a good age and has experience at this level.”Hutton’s praise for O’Hare is high, and he believes that the midfielder would be a great addition to Leeds United’s squad. “I think that is something Leeds are definitely looking at, and he suits them well,” Hutton said. “He’s a quality player, and I think he would be an exciting signing for Leeds.”Leeds United are in need of a quality replacement for Crysencio Summerville, who is expected to leave the club this summer. Summerville has been linked with several top clubs, including Liverpool and Chelsea, and Leeds United will need to find a suitable replacement to fill the void left by his departure.Callum O’Hare’s impressive season at Coventry City has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, but Leeds United’s need for a quality attacking midfielder makes them the perfect destination for him.
With his technical ability, eye for a pass, and goal-scoring ability, O’Hare would be an excellent addition to Leeds United’s squad.As the transfer window heats up, Leeds United fans will be watching with interest to see if the club can get the deal over the line. With O’Hare’s contract set to expire on June 30, time is of the essence, but Alan Hutton’s backing of the deal suggests that Leeds United are in pole position to sign the talented midfielder.
