Several Premier League clubs, including Leeds United, are keeping a close eye on Kilmarnock’s young talent Zander Craik, whose contract is set to expire this summer. Despite a lack of significant academy signings, Leeds has been actively scouting emerging talent across the UK, with Craik catching their attention.
In addition to Leeds, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, and Nottingham Forest have also shown interest in Craik. The 18-year-old striker has impressed in Kilmarnock’s youth setup and has received a contract offer from the club, although Leeds and other Premier League clubs are vying for his signature.
Leeds has also been monitoring Bobby Wales, another Kilmarnock forward currently on loan at Alloa in the Scottish League One. With Wales also out of contract in the summer, Kilmarnock would be entitled to compensation if he were to leave.
Despite facing competition for these deals, Leeds’ efforts to scout and attract talent from across the UK show their determination to strengthen their squad. The prospect of joining the Leeds setup is surely appealing for players considering their options for the future.
