An exciting Leeds United transfer target has admitted that he dreams of playing in the Premier League whilst being in a 'difficult situation' at his current club. 21-year-old expansive midfielder Jason Knight has put together another solid season in the Championship at the young age of 21, and is garnering interest from several clubs.
Leeds United are said to be one team interested, along with Burnley, who were relegated to the Championship on the final day of the season which kept Jesse Marsch's side in the top flight.
Knight's current side Derby County were relegated to League One after being hit with a 12-point deduction after going into administration earlier in the season.

And Knight's performance levels have rightly earned him the chance to play at a higher level, potentially at Elland Road, something he admitted would be difficult to turn down.
Speaking on Derby County's next season in League One, he told the Irish Mirror : "It’s a really competitive squad we’ve got now and you need to be playing football at the highest level you can. That’s for me and the manager to talk about but, for the moment, I’m still at Derby. I love the city and the club and I’ve been there a while.
"You need to look after yourself as well. It's a difficult situation but it's something I’ll think about. I have to see what's best for me, what's going to help develop me."
Knight has spoken about playing in the Premier League. He said: “Whenever I step out there I always mix it with anyone. If that offer comes in, it's something you have always dreamt of, playing in the Premier League and at the highest level. At the moment I’m still a Derby player.
"Everyone knows it’s been a tough year with things behind the scenes at Derby. I’ve played a lot of games so I was happy with that aspect but what the future holds I don’t know. I’ll see what happens.”
