Liam Lindsay has been targeted by Leeds United who are weighing up a transfer window swoop for the Partick Thistle defender.

The 21-year-old was watched by the Elland Road club against Dundee this week after Gary Monk’s side were alerted by the free-scoring centre-back’s impressive recent form.

Record Sport Online understands Leeds have compiled a dossier on the player and believe he could be an asset in their bid for promotion from the Championship this season.

Birmingham and Portsmouth were also at Firhill on Wednesday night to run the rule over the Jags academy product and could join a January bidding war among other English Championship clubs.

Lindsay had to be replaced at half-time after suffering a face knock against the Dark Blues but that won’t have put off a long list of suitors who have noted he already has six goals to his credit this campaign.

He recently signed a contract extension that ties him to the club until the summer of 2019 so Thistle will be looking for a sizeable transfer fee for a player who has enjoyed stand-out displays in Jags’ recent surge into the top six.
