Leeds Plotting Move To Bring Liverpool Defender To Elland Road

Liverpool are considering allowing young central defender Danny Wilson to leave the club on a short term loan deal in order to gain some vital first team football.

The former Rangers defender was brought to Anfield last summer and has so far struggled to force his way into the Liverpool first team, but is considered a potential star of the future.

The 19-year-old has made just two appearances in the Premier League, but last season was a regular in the Europa League and is certainly still in the clubs plans as manager Kenny Dalglish attempts to build a young side.

Wilson is already a regular for Scotland and was a crucial member of the Ranger side that won the treble in 2010, before earning a move to Liverpool.

The Scot has the likes of Jamie Carragher, Martin Skrtel, Daniel Agger and new signing Sebastian Coates ahead of him in the pecking order and may have to leave to gain more experience.

Leeds manager Simon Grayson is reportedly interested in taking the defender on loan, while former club Rangers and Blackpool are also said to be interested in bringing in the Liverpool man.

Leeds are currently 11th in the Championship and are hoping to once again push for a place in the play-offs.
