At this stroke of the hour, Leeds United are finding themselves in a pretty awkward scenario after enduring a dramatic collapse during the business end of the season which saw them falling out of the playoff spots. Apart from finding a successor of Garry Monk for the managerial post, the Whites are desperately vouching for the alternatives resorts in order to fill the void that is all set to be created with the departure of their first choice left-back, Charlie Taylor, who is craving to leave the Elland Road.
Taylor was involved in one of the infamous incidents in the 2016-17 campaign of Sky Bet Championship as he refused to play for Monk’s outfit in the final game of the season against Wigan Athletic and it has been perceived so far that his exit is imminent. The 23-year-old Englishman has been a player with fine productivity and calibre and thus, a shrewd replacement would be needed to ensure that the West Yorkshire based construct themselves as a side capable enough to strive for attaining a promotion spot in the upcoming campaign.
One of the players whom Leeds United could possibly target as a short-term remedy is Everton’s youngster Brendan Galloway. Having debuted with the Toffees in 2015, Galloway was shipped out on loan to the Hawthorns to accumulate experience under his belt but sadly, owing to the inadequate opportunities he was handed by Tony Pulis, his tenure with West Bromwich Albion never really blossomed.
Nonetheless, Everton sees the Zimbabwe-born left-back as the potential heir to Leighton Baines in the long run and thus, he is seemingly likely to be loaned out again to a decent side where he gets the chance to thrive in a proper manner to showcase his talents and productivity to Ronald Koeman.
Despite being a relatively new face in the scene, Galloway has shown his excellent tackling and blocking abilities on a consistent basis. The former MK Dons defender is a modern-day fullback with great pace, is seen as someone who is very comfortable with the ball and excels particularly in the one vs. one situation. Besides, he is a really intelligent player and barely puts a foot wrong whilst catering to his offensive as well as defensive duties. A move to Leeds United should be a beneficial one for all the parties involved and it could certainly be the pedestal which Galloway needs to keep developing in a requisite manner.
