Leeds United are ready to reignite their pursuit of Huddersfield Town star Lewis O\u2019Brien, according to reports.<\/p>\n

For those not aware, highly-regarded midfielder O\u2019Brien was hotly tipped for an Elland Road switch throughout last summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n

This came with Marcelo Bielsa understood to be a keen admirer of the 23-year-old\u2019s talents, and Leeds having long been sorely lacking in depth in the middle of the park.<\/p>\n

In the end, a deal, evidently, could not be found, as the powers that be at Huddersfield were urged not to cave amid a concerted push on the part of their Yorkshire rivals.<\/p>\n

As per a report from The Sun, however, the latest signals stemming from Elland Road point towards Leeds readying a renewed offer for O\u2019Brien.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

New Whites boss Jesse Marsch has too been left impressed by the Englishman\u2019s form at Kirklees Stadium, with a \u00a310 million bid, in turn, said to be in the pipeline.<\/p>\n

One potential issue for Leeds, however, comes in the form of Huddersfield\u2019s ongoing push for a return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The Terriers are actually locked in action with Nottingham Forest at present, in the knowledge that a victory would see them guaranteed of a spot in England\u2019s top-flight for the 2022\/23 campaign.<\/p>\n

And, should Carlos Corberan\u2019s troops go on to emerge triumphant, then O\u2019Brien is in line for a new contract, featuring a considerably higher release clause.<\/p>\n
