According to The Athletic, Leeds United are interested in Liam Millar of Canada and will be watching the Basel forward during this year’s Copa America.
According to the web source, Burnley and Sheffield United are also interested in the jet-heeled attacker, who is noted for his pace, technical quality, and mature decision-making, as do Premier League teams.
It is understood that the 24-year-old, who is now in Basel, Switzerland, is aiming to sign a long-term contract in England this summer after a series of loan spells over the last several seasons.
Leeds United is interested in signing Liam Millar, a former Liverpool youth star.
Millar, who joined Preston North End on a season-long loan, was one of their most influential players in the Championship last season, scoring five goals and assisting five times.
With 96 appearances for Basel since July 2021, it appears the player is set to return to England, potentially putting Leeds in the driving seat for the trade.
The Whites will undoubtedly be expecting to regain promotion to the Premier League at the first attempt, and Millar, if signed, may play a significant role in that effort.
Given his flexibility to play on both the left flank and as a centre forward, the 24-year-old might be an ideal signing if Crysencio Summerville leaves Elland Road this summer.
Of course, there are many moving elements in this scenario, but given the intense interest in the Dutchman, it is unlikely that Daniel Farke will enter the 2024/25 season without his star attacker.
Millar, who is presently in the Copa America with Canada, has already shown himself in the division and will want to show his former Liverpool club why he should have been given more of a chance before being released in 2021.
With two loan periods at Kilmarnock, one at Charlton Athletic, and another at Preston, it’s obvious that the midfielder is looking to settle down this summer.
