Leeds United midfielder Darko Gyabi is a target for a number of Championship and French clubs in this summer\u2019s transfer window, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Gyabi, 21, is likely to find himself down the pecking order at Elland Road after spending the last 18 months out on loan at Plymouth.<\/p>\n

Several Championship<\/a> sides and French teams are monitoring Gyabi\u2019s situation at Leeds as they weigh up loan moves with an option.<\/p>\n

Leeds have signed four players this summer, including striker Lukas Nmecha, left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, and two centre-backs, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Jaka Bijol.<\/p>\n

Having improved key areas, the Yorkshire-based side are now looking at bolstering a midfield that already has Ao Tanaka<\/a> and Ilia Gruev.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Rourke previously told Football Insider<\/strong> that Newcastle would accept a \u00a310million bid from Leeds for Sean Longstaff<\/a>, whilst Kalvin Phillips is perennially linked with a return to Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

As such, there appears to be little room for Gyabi in Farke\u2019s midfield as the Whites prepare for their return to England\u2019s top-flight.<\/p>\n

All of the previously promoted teams from the last two seasons have suffered an instant return to the Championship, and the German boss is unlikely to give the young midfielder much of an opportunity to impress next season, given what is at stake for the former Norwich manager and his side.<\/p>\n

Despite being only 21 years of age, Gyabi already finds himself at a crossroads in his career<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The England Under-20 international showed immense promise and was seen as a major coup when he chose to sign for Leeds after growing up in Man City<\/a>\u2018s academy.<\/p>\n

But three years later, Gyabi has made just seven senior appearances for Leeds, and after a gruelling season with Plymouth, which resulted in relegation to League One, he appears to be out of the Whites\u2019 plans for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

Returning to the Championship will likely appeal to the midfielder, as although he failed to truly shine, the 48 first-team games played for the Pilgrims will have been a major boost to his development.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
