Leeds United are showing real interest in Middlesbrough's Marcus Tavernier.

The talented midfielder is wanted by several clubs in England, but the Premier League side may hope to steal a march on others during the January transfer window.

According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are hoping they can secure Tavernier with a significant offer in the winter.

The midfielder can play anywhere across midfield, while he is also comfortable at wing-back.

Southampton, Brighton and Burnley are all tracking his progress as well.
