da fazobetai： League Two side Harrogate Town are thought to be interested in Leeds United forward Max Dean, according to Adam Pope.

The Lowdown: Dean at Leeds

da bet sport： Dean, capable of playing anywhere across the front three, signed a first professional deal at Elland Road last year. The 18-year-old has made a total of 44 appearances for the club’s academy sides – 31 of which have come for the U23s.

The attacker has contributed to a total of 17 goals and has mainly played as a centre-forward, and it looks as if he could be given the chance to play senior football in 2022/23.

The Latest: Pope’s post

Reliable reporter Pope took to Twitter on Monday evening to provide some more exit rumours.

He claimed that Harrogate are ‘understood to be interested in a loan deal’ for Dean, although nothing has been confirmed as of yet.

The Verdict: Makes sense?

Dean is entering the final 12 months of his Elland Road contract, so a new deal and a loan move away could be a wise move for everyone involved.

He has become a regular for the U23s despite only turning 18 in February, so gaining senior experience in League Two could be just what he needs for his development.

A move away would potentially go under the radar as well, especially with star men Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips seemingly close to big-money switches to Chelsea and Manchester City respectively.
