A further Tweet said:
Understand Chesterfield value Cooper at around £1m. There is a sell-on clause for former club #hcafc. Other Champ clubs could rival Leeds.

As reported, Chesterfield are thought to value the young defender at £1,000,000, and, if Leeds do go through with the deal, Cooper’s former club, Hull City, will receive money from a sell on clause in the starlet’s contact.
The 22 year old defender has made 60 appearances for Chesterfield and has scored 4 goals.
