Free Agent with 18 Goals Expresses Interest in Contract Offers; Leicester City Proposes Wealthy Deal
Josh Brownhill on the Brink of Joining Leeds United
After an impressive season with Burnley that culminated in their promotion back to the Premier League, midfielder Josh Brownhill is set for a new challenge. The 29-year-old, who turns 30 in December, has announced his departure from the club and is reportedly close to joining Leeds United.
Brownhill, who was the captain of Burnley during their promotion campaign, scored two goals in his last game at Turf Moor. His consistent performances in the Championship last season earned him a ranking of 21st in our website's list of the 50 best players in the EFL.
Oli McBurnie and Ben Brereton Diaz, two of Brownhill's former teammates, have already moved abroad, joining Las Palmas and Villarreal, respectively.
Despite his impressive form, Brownhill's transfer value and ranking among Premier League players are not specified. Given his age and recent permanent exit from Burnley, the transfer is likely to be on a free or nominal fee basis.
Brownhill has expressed his desire to continue competing at a high level, possibly in the Championship or aiming for Premier League promotion with Leeds. However, there has been no direct mention of concrete offers from other Premier League clubs or European clubs in the available information.
Leicester City, a Championship title contender, has reportedly tabled a contract offer to Brownhill. The Foxes, along with Ipswich Town, Southampton, and Sheffield United, are among the bookmakers' favorites for promotion to the Premier League next season.
Leicester City is currently managed by Marti Cifuentes, and Brownhill's decision to leave Burnley was about wanting to challenge himself further and continue to grow as a person and a professional.
Brownhill, who has made over 200 appearances for Burnley, in addition to stints with Bristol City, Preston North End, and Barnsley, wrote on social media about his decision. He is now considering various options for his next move, including a Premier League move, and is open to offers from clubs in Europe.
As Brownhill's future unfolds, fans eagerly await to see where the talented midfielder will continue his career.
Brownhill's potential move to Leeds United could mark a new chapter in his football career, considering his past performances in the Championship and his desire to compete at a high level. With European leagues offering opportunities, Brownhill might be open to offers from clubs outside the Premier League.
