Amina UmarLeeds United has been linked with a move for Coventry City playmaker Callum O’Hare, and former Aston Villa defender Alan Hutton has given his seal of approval, describing O’Hare as an “exciting” talent who could help fill the void left by potential departures.Hutton, who played alongside O’Hare at Villa Park, believes the 26-year-old has the skills and experience to make a big impact at Elland Road.
“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 been impressing in the Championship, scoring 10 goals in 36 appearances for Coventry City, including a strike at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United. His contract is set to expire this summer, and he is looking for a new challenge.Leeds United is waiting for a firm offer for Crysencio Summerville, with Brighton making an inquiry and Liverpool and Chelsea also linked with the Dutchman.
Georginio Rutter and Willy Gnonto are also potential departures, and Daniel Farke is looking for creative options to replace them.Hutton believes O’Hare has the technical ability, eye for a pass, and goal-scoring ability to make a big impact at Leeds United. “I know Callum O’Hare well, I’ve played alongside him when I was at Villa. He’s very technically gifted, he’s got an eye for a pass, and he can score goals, and he’s still at a good age and has experience at this level.”Leeds United fans can get the latest news and transfer updates by joining the Leeds United community on WhatsApp. By joining, fans will receive breaking news and the best reads sent straight to their device.
