Preparing for their return to the Premier League, Leeds have been active in the transfer market this summer, signing Anton Sach, Jaka Bijol and Sean Longstaff, among others. West Ham, meanwhile, have endured a frustrating window, with Callum Wilson the most high-profile arrival.

Leeds and West Ham are among the clubs showing interest in Doak, with Monaco and Bologna also interested. Ipswich and Crystal Palace are understood to have had bids rejected for the winger.

The Qualities of Ben Doak

At 19 years old, Doak has enormous potential. He’s direct, fast and a fantastic dribbler. His ability to retain the ball is exceptional for someone so young. Doak is at his best when isolating his marker, before dazzling them with his silky skills.

His explosiveness would be a vital addition when on the counterattack for both Leeds United and West Ham. The Scotsman works hard both offensively and defensively, which makes him a great option for any potential suitors.
