Wigan to offer deal to Leeds midfielder Owen Bray

Wigan Athletic plan to offer a deal to Leeds United midfielder Owen Bray.

Bray has reportedly failed to agree an extension on his deal at Elland Road and will therefore be free to leave the Whites this summer with the Latics at the front of the queue, says Leeds-Live.

Leeds are likely to be busy on the incomings front for their U23s side again this summer and some players are therefore going to have to move on.

The 19-year-old had his scholarship deal at Leeds extended by 12 months last summer but has struggled to break into the club's Under-23s side this season and was therefore allowed to make an appearance for Wigan at that level, with a view to a summer move.

The two clubs have a history of academy transfer dealings in recent years, with Joe Gelhardt and Sean McGurk both making the move across the Pennines to West Yorkshire in the last two summers.
