Huddersfield Town could launch a bid to bring Lee Peltier back to the club.
The 27-year-old full-back, said to be unsettled at Leeds, ticks the boxes as far as the John Smith’s Stadium club are concerned.
Sources suggests manager Mark Robins, looking for a right-back after releasing Calum Woods, admires both the player’s athleticism and experience.
But Leeds’ desire to recoup a large chunk of the reported £500,000 they paid Leicester for his signature two years ago could be a sticking point.
And Town aren’t the only club in the market for the Liverpool product, who still has a year to run on his Elland Road contract.
Championship rivals Nottingham Forest, for whom Peltier played seven games on loan last season, are among those said to be keen.
Peltier made 103 appearances in two seasons with Town between 2009-11.
He was signed from Yeovil and left to join Leicester in the wake of Town’s League I play-off final defeat by Peterborough at Old Trafford.
The move represented a step up to Championship level for the player a year before Town won promotion.
Town, whose former right-back Jack Hunt is being linked with a loan move from Crystal Palace to Blackburn, have previously been linked with Newcastle’s James Tavernier and Coventry’s Cyrus Christie.
If he were to return, Peltier would join a select group of players to have had two separate spells with Town.
They include Andy Booth, Mally Brown, Danny Cadamarteri, Rob Edwards, Roy Ellam, Chris Lucketti and Jon Stead.
