Leeds United, Wolves and Leicester are set to miss out in their pursuit of Josh Brownhill after he agreed a deal to join Saudi Pro League outfit Al Shabab.<\/strong><\/p>\n Speaking on the latest edition of Football Insider\u2019s Inside Track podcast<\/a><\/strong>, senior correspondent Pete O\u2019Rourke<\/a> revealed what sources have told him about the 29-year-old\u2019s future amid interest from Premier League and Championship clubs.<\/p>\n However, reports have since claimed the former Burnley<\/a> midfielder is set to put pen to paper on a deal which will see him earn over \u00a3100,000 per week in the Middle East.<\/p>\n Former Man United chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider<\/strong> last month that Leeds had joined the race to sign Brownhill<\/a>, with Celtic also keen.<\/p>\n The free agent made 42 league appearances for Burnley last season, scoring 18 goals before deciding to move on upon the expiry of his contract, putting clubs on alert.<\/p>\n Alongside the likes of Leeds, Wolves and Leicester, Everton<\/a> and West Ham<\/a> have also expressed an interest this summer, but all now look set to miss out.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed on 2 August that Celtic felt they had an advantage to sign Brownhill<\/a> with the allure of European football which their rivals couldn\u2019t offer.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n However, a move to the Saudi Pro League will see the midfielder earn more money than any of his offers from England or Scotland during the summer.<\/p>\n O\u2019Rourke explained that it had been a surprise that Brownhill was yet to make a move given the level of interest, but his future finally looks set to be resolved.<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be movement soon,\u201d he told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cI was surprised, especially in the Brownhill situation, that he hadn\u2019t been picked up already.<\/p>\n \u201cHe had a great season with Burnley last year, picked up so many goals and assists to help them win promotion and then obviously turned down a new contract.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s just bided his time, there has been a lot of interest from the Premier League and the Championship.<\/p>\n \u201cWolves have showed a bit of interest recently and Leicester as well, he\u2019s been one of the most in-demand free agents available.<\/p>\n \u201cNow it looks like he\u2019s going to get his big-money move to Saudi Arabia.\u201d<\/p>\n Daniel Farke frustrated after disappointing transfer latest<\/strong><\/p>\n Leeds endured a frustrating end to the transfer window, missing out on a number of key targets and leaving multiple positions weaker than they had planned for.<\/p>\n Football Insider<\/strong> revealed on 24 August that Daniel Farke wanted to sign four new players<\/a> before the deadline in a winger, attacking midfielder, left-back and right-back.<\/p>\n The arrivals of Noah Okafor and James Justin saw them strengthen two of those positions, but there is a feeling of disappointment lingering at Elland Road.<\/p>\n Particularly after the club missed out on a late deal to sign Harry Wilson from Fulham<\/a>, with a wide creator having been key for them all summer.<\/p>\n For more Rangers and exclusive news, follow us on Facebook<\/a> or join our brand new WhatsApp Channel<\/a> for instant updates to be sent straight to your
