Leeds United hoping to pinch Southampton's Mason Holgate in Everton deal

Leeds United are hoping to sneak in and get Southampton defender Mason Holgate before the end of the January transfer window, as per TEAMtalk.

The outlet has reported that Stuttgart are leading the way in the race to sign the Everton defender, who has been on loan with the Saints since the start of the season, but that both Leeds and Sheffield United are keen. The Blades are unlikely to get the 27-year-old on loan as the Toffees wouldn't want to help a direct relegation rival, as per TEAMtalk.

The defender has struggled to hold down a starting position in Russell Martin's team since making the switch to the South Coast. He has played in just five of the Saints' 28 Championship matches, four of which were starts.
