Leeds United are in talks to bring in Sunderland’s young forward, Mason Cotcher, according to a report from The Telegraph. The 17-year-old has been on trial with Leeds and has also caught the eye of Premier League giants Arsenal.
The Telegraph suggests that Cotcher is set to depart Sunderland, with Leeds now needing to negotiate compensation for the promising player. Leeds see Cotcher as a player for their future plans and he may initially join their development squad.
Despite being offered a contract by Sunderland last summer, Cotcher has not signed it. He had an impressive season with Sunderland’s U18s, scoring nine goals in 25 matches across all competitions. He even made an appearance in an FA Cup game against Shrewsbury Town last season.
Leeds could be the next destination for Cotcher, despite his recent training with Arsenal. Fans of the Whites may want to keep an eye out for this young talent in the future.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds United are currently fighting for promotion back to the Premier League and are sitting in 2nd place in the Championship. Their next match is away at Coventry City as they look to maintain their strong form and secure a return to the top flight.
