Leeds United forward Sam Greenwood is in advanced talks to join Middlesbrough on loan, sources have told Football Insider<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boro are on the hunt for reinforcements in attack after picking up just one point from a possible 12 to start the 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenwood, 21, fits the bill and is down the pecking order at Leeds despite their relegation from the Premier League last term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Leeds\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The big-money signing of Joel Piroe and the reintegration of Wilfried Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra has reduced the youngster’s opportunities even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was, however, involved as Leeds bowed out of the League Cup on penalties against Salford on Tuesday (29 August).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenwood<\/a> came off the bench for a 14-minute cameo – just his second appearance under new boss Daniel Farke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made 23 appearances across all competitions for Leeds last term, managing one goal and three assists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just seven of those outings came as part of the starting lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The England Under-21 international has made 35 appearances for the senior Whites side in total – making his debut in October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He signed a fresh four-year contract at Elland Road last summer (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greenwood has proved a versatile asset since making his senior breakthrough – playing up front as well as in attacking midfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Middlesbrough\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Middlesbrough have lost Chuba Akpom to Ajax already this summer and are also struggling after the end of Cameron Archer’s loan spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Teessiders, who finished fourth last season, have recently signed ex-Atalanta forward Emmanuel Latte Lath to remedy their lack of attacking threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
