Doncaster Rovers captain Ben Whiteman has been linked with a host of Championship clubs – all of Preston North End, QPR and Watford have been named as the race heats up.
Previously on the books at Manchester United, Whiteman made his professional debut as a Sheffield United player.
He amassed eight appearances for the Blades’ first-team and spent time on loan at both Mansfield Town and Doncaster Rovers, making the latter permanent ahead of the 2018/19 season.
In his time at the Keepmoat, Whiteman has featured 158 times and scored 25 goals.
In League One this term, the 24-year-old has netted five goals in 18 appearances, and now looks set for a contested month after missing out on a move to Barnsley last summer.
He’s out-of-contract in the summer, but a cut-price January deal seems a likely outcome, and one of Preston, QPR or Watford his next destination.
