Leeds have given Leicester a boost in their bid for McNulty

Also named in the same report were Leicester, who have been linked alongside Leeds in recent weeks.

However, the fact that the Foxes pipped Leeds to automatic promotion last season effectively means they are expected to be out of contention for the defender:

“However, it remains to be seen whether MacNulty will still play for PEC next season. There is interest in the defender from the English Championship.

“Among others, Leeds United, who missed out on promotion to the Premier League, are eyeing McNulty. Earlier, Leicester City were also interested. That club got promoted, which probably changed the transfer plans.”

With Leicester now perhaps looking for more guaranteed shots on their return to the Premier League and fighting to stay up, it could leave Leeds with a free run at the young defender.
