Burrows was in advanced talks to join Sheffield United, but Leeds’ late interest has complicated matters, with the club considering a last-minute hijack.

At this point, it is unclear whether a bid has been filed, but there appears to be serious interest in the 22-year-old, which might escalate in the coming hours.

A £3 million price tag has been proposed, making it a very plausible transaction for Leeds following Jayden Boygle’s £5 million transfer from Sheffield United.
