The Whites are thought to be looking for a right full-back in the summer transfer market
West Ham could scupper any hopes Leeds United had of signing free agent Ben Johnson this summer, with the Hammers set to offer the full-back a new five-year deal.
Daniel Farke is still looking for an answer to his right-back issues, with Connor Roberts now back at Burnley and Luke Ayling joining Middlesbrough on a free transfer. Archie Gray has played in the role for much of last season, but the hot prospect is more at home in central midfield.READ MORE: Harrison hope and Wober decision - Leeds United loanee transfer verdict
Leeds have several defensive issues to address this summer, with Junior Firpo's future uncertain and veteran Liam Cooper out of contract, although the club are in discussions over a new deal. Johnson was limited to just 22 appearances for West Ham last season, but has played more than 100 times in Hammers' colours. He has been capped 10 times by England Under-21s, but with an improved offer on the table in east London, it appears Leeds may have to look elsewhere.
