Forget Matt O’Riley; a £3 million man would bring Leeds closer to promotion, with the 49ers expected to strike a deal.

Leeds United have been linked with a January move for Celtic playmaker David Turnbull, which would help the club make amends for the failure to sign his teammate Matt O’Riley.

David Turnbull

Fabrizio Romano recently stated that O’Riley would cost more than £25 million. As a result, it’s out of the question. However, Leeds still has a significant need for a No.10. Joel Piroe is playing at number ten, but his form is inconsistent.

Leeds attempted to sign O’Riley for this reason. However, his recent form has caused his price to skyrocket, and there is no way we can get him in January. David Turnbull, his teammate, is far more approachable.

Turnbull, 24, is expected to depart Celtic in January for a top-tier Championship club, according to Go Radio’s John Hartson. A player who has assisted on 54 goals in 130 games.

Leeds arrival In the summer, David Turnbull corrects Matt O’Riley‘s error.

Turnbull is known for his long-range shooting ability. Capable of delivering from set-pieces as well. For the Scottish champs, he frequently takes corners and free kicks. The 24-year-old’s contract expires in May.

So, odds are he’ll depart Parkhead for free in the summer. However, there may be interest in him next month, and he would undoubtedly be a fantastic addition for any side in England’s second division.

Indeed, Turnbull has seven Premiership goals this season. If we have a chance to sign Turnbull in January, we should take it. Glen Kamara was signed from Glasgow and has performed admirably.
