Leeds United 'try hardest' to keep in-demand loanee as Premier League and European sides circle

Leeds United are keen to keep Cody Drameh amid growing transfer interest in the Luton Town loanee. That is the view of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims a host of domestic and European clubs are 'monitoring' the full-back's availability this summer.

Drameh made the move to Kenilworth Road for the second-half of the season after finding first-team opportunities limited at Elland Road. The 21-year-old has so far made 18 appearances and has helped the Hatters book their place in the play-off final with a Wembley showdown at Coventry City to come on May 27.

The England youth international is set to enter the final year of his contract with the Whites, and his form at Luton has inevitably garnered interest elsewhere. Drameh had impressed on loan at Cardiff City the previous season, but has seen his first-team route blocked following the summer arrival of Rasmus Kristensen.

Romano claims Luton are keen to make the move for Drameh permanent, with the young defender now keen to play in the Premier League. Leeds' current battle for survival will also likely play a factor in determining whether the loanee remains at the club or not.

"Cody Drameh, into the play off final," he tweeted. "Leeds trying hardest to keep him while Luton want to do everything to sign the RB hoping to play PL football.

"Championship, PL and European clubs all monitoring the situation closely. No decision has been taken."

Sam Allardyce's side currently sit one point adrift of safety with just two matches remaining. The Whites travel to West Ham on Sunday, before concluding their campaign with a home clash against Tottenham.
