“Leeds is a MASSIVE club, I will love to play there?” Leeds United targets already gives Leeds a greenlight to sign him after seeing Leeds as a massive club

Leeds United are interested in signing Tottenham Hotspur and Wales defender Ben Davies, who has described the Whites as a “massive club”. Davies, who has featured just four times in the Premier League for Spurs this season, has been linked with a move to Elland Road, and it’s been revealed that Leeds have retained their interest in the Welshman.

A move to West Yorkshire could yet be appealing for Davies, who has a couple of good friends already at the club, in Wales teammates Dan James and Joe Rodon. Rodon, who was with Davies at Spurs, moved to Leeds in a £10million deal last season, and Davies has spoken highly of his national comrade and the club.

Davies told WalesOnline: “I think it was a great opportunity to go there, he knew he was going to go there and play a lot of football and play at a massive club with ambitions of going back to the Premier League. He has started so well and he is enjoying it there.”

Davies and Rodon are reportedly “best mates”, and the pair have spoken highly of each other. Davies said about Rodon: “Very solid, good on the ball. To see him have success at Leeds, it really does make me happy. Joe is one of my best mates, so we speak all the time. He is a really good defender, showing that right now.”

Signing Davies would not only give Leeds United a experienced and tried Premier League and international player, but it could also give them the perfect partner for Rodon at the back. Pascal Struijk is a target for Spurs, and so there might yet be a need for Farke to sign a new centre-back. Davies would definitely be a shrewd signing.

Leeds United’s interest in Davies is likely due to their defensive issues, which have been a problem for the team this season. The Whites drew 3-3 with Hull City in their last game, and their lead at the top of the Championship table has shrunk to a single point.

Daniel Farke’s side have been linked with several centre-backs in the build-up to January, including Ben Godfrey, who has since joined Ipswich Town on loan, and Nottingham Forest’s Andrew Omobamidele. However, Davies’ experience and quality make him an attractive option for Leeds.

It remains to be seen whether Leeds United can secure a deal for Davies, but it’s clear that the player has a high regard for the club and his friend Joe Rodon. A move to Elland Road could be a great opportunity for Davies to revive his career and help Leeds United achieve their ambitions.
