Chris Wilder is reportedly keen on signing Leeds United’s Luke Ayling after his contract runs down at the end of the season.
Daniel Farke’s side is just two points behind second-place Ipswich Town with just three games left as they chase that final automatic promotion spot.
A major reason for their success so far in this campaign has been their solid backline which has been responsible for the best defensive record in the Championship.
With the German manager set on his current back four, this has pushed club legend Ayling to the fringes of the squad with the 32-year-old currently on loan at Middlesbrough.
The versatile defender can play across the back four and with his contract set to expire in the summer, could be an excellent option for another side.
