He is out of contract at Leeds United but the Owls now face fresh competition for his signature, with reports on Friday revealing that Burnley, Luton Town and Sunderland are keen on the 24-year-old.

His Leeds side remain in the Championship play-offs and so his future is likely to become clearer once their season is over.
