Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa lines up raid for Liverpool flop Cameron Brannagan

Leeds are tracking former Liverpool midfielder Cameron Brannagan following his impressive exploits for Oxford.

The Elland Road heavyweights are already well stocked in midfield.

However, Brannagan has looked the real deal at the League One outfit and Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t want to miss out on a potential bargain.

The 23-year-old will have just one year remaining on his current Oxford deal in the summer and Karl Robinson might be tempted to sell rather than risk losing him for nothing in 12 months.

According to Football Insider , Leeds scouts have watched him on several occasions as they weigh up a formal approach.

Brannagan has made 34 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring seven goals.

He started his career at Anfield, although failed to make the grade. After just three Premier League appearances he was sent packing.

If Bielsa gets his man, Brannagan could be back in the Premier League next season.

Leeds have got their promotion charge back on track and secured a 1-0 win over Reading on Saturday.

"It was a similar match to what we are used to playing,” Bielsa said in the aftermath.
