# Newcastle to battle Leeds for Bowen in January

Newcastle and Leeds are set to battle it out to sign Hull City star Jarrod Bowen in the January transfer window.

[According to The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-6533237/Leeds-plotting-January-Hull-forward-Jarrod-Bowen-replacement-Samu-Saiz.html), the pair are both ready to make a move for the forward, who has impressed this season.

Bowen has scored eight Championship goals from the wing, after scoring 14 league goals last season for the struggling side.

This has attracted the attention of multiple clubs, with Leeds reportedly frontrunners at this moment in time.

The report claims that Hull are looking for a fee in the region of £6.5m for Bowen, but Leeds are hopeful that they can secure a cheaper deal.

Newcastle may be able to snatch a deal, however, if they move for Bowen – with the temptation of immediate Premier League football.

Leeds are currently top of the Championship, with half of the season still left to play.
