Leeds United are one of three clubs chasing Jamal Lowe<\/a>, according to Sam Meade of the Daily Star<\/a>. The striker missed out on promotion by losing to Sunderland<\/a> in the semi-final during the week.<\/p>\n

Championship Trio Chase Forward’s Signature<\/h1>\n

Leeds Among Three-way Race for Striker<\/h2>\n

Jamal Lowe<\/a>‘s failed attempt at promotion to the Championship could be good news for two second-tier clubs.\u00a0The 24-year-old was unable to overturn a 1-0 deficit first-leg defeat to beat Sunderland after a 0-0 draw at Fratton Park.<\/p>\n

And with the club’s, and Lowe’s, aim of being in the Championship delayed by a year, the forward may be tempted by a move away due to his\u00a0desire to play at a higher level.<\/p>\n

The former non-league striker is now being tracked by Leeds, West Bromwich Albion<\/a> and Middlesbrough, according to the Daily Star.<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking after his side’s play-off semi-final defeat, Lowe said:\u00a0\u201cOf course I do (want to play in the Championship). We all do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI personally do, but that\u2019s a thing for next season now. It hurts (defeat to Sunderland) at the moment, but we\u2019ve had a great season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fans appreciated us and clapped us off the end when they could\u2019ve booed. They appreciated what we did this season – and we appreciate them back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowe made 45 appearances for Pompey last term, scoring fifteen goals in the process.\u00a0However, despite the high levels of interest, Lowe said that he does not read too much into the rumours.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to get over this defeat. That\u2019s it really. Of course, it\u2019s hard to do that (say if he\u2019s staying or going).\u201d he said.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not even on my mind right now. I need to get over this defeat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI normally hear it all from the press. The talk is one of those things. If you\u2019re doing okay rumours start flying about.\u201d<\/p>\n
