Leeds United’s January target keen on summer transfer away from Bristol City

The Sunday Times has claimed that Bristol City winger Callum O’Dowda wants to leave Ashton Gate this summer, after refusing to paper on a new deal with the club.

Bristol City winger Callum O’Dowda was heavily linked with a move away from Ashton Gate in the summer transfer window, with fellow Championship side Leeds United credited with interest in January.

The Whites had seen O’Dowda as a potential back-up option if they failed in their chase for Daniel James – which they did. However, Bristol City were successful in fending off interest from Marcelo Bielsa’s side after slapping a £10 million price tag on his head.

Now, it has been reported by The Sunday Times that the winger is keen to make a move away from the Robins, and Premier League and Championship sides are weighing up a move for the Republic of Ireland international.

O’Dowda had a one-year contract extension triggered earlier this season, but with his contract now running out at the end of the 2019/20 Championship season, Bristol City could look to cash in this summer instead of risking losing him for nothing next year.

The 24-year-old played 35 games for Lee Johnson’s side this season, scoring five goals and providing five assists along the way as well. He hasn’t featured since a 1-1 draw with Ipswich Town in March, with a knee injury keeping him out of action.

O’Dowda has been at Ashton Gate for three years now, joining from Oxford United in the summer of 2016 for a reported fee of £1 million. Overall, he has featured 102 times for the Championship side.
