The 23-year-old has had loan spells with Tranmere, Coventry and Walsall before heading to Leeds in the summer, and has made 14 Championship starts. He hasn’t been convincing at times, but his overall performance has impressed Leeds into considering making a permanent move for him in the summer transfer window.
However, Everton, his parent club, are equally impressed with his progress during the loan spell, and the Toffees are also thought to be readying a new deal for the youngster.
