Southampton 'identify' Leeds United's Burnley, Luton Town and Brentford-linked defender Cody Drameh as target
The 21-year-old’s future has appeared uncertain since he returned to Elland Road following the conclusion of his loan spell at Luton Town. He has been linked with Brentford, Burnley and a return to the Hatters but remains on the books in West Yorkshire.
However, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano, he has been identified as a target by Southampton.

Hide AdHe tweeted: “Understand Southampton boss Russell Martin has identified long term target Cody Drameh as target in the closing weeks of the window.
“He’s prepared to wait until January and even next summer to sign the RB [right-back] whose deal expires in 2024.”
Drameh appeared as a late substitute in Leeds’ recent Carabao Cup win over Shrewsbury Town but is yet to make a league appearance under Daniel Farke.
He also struggled for first-team opportunities under previous head coaches at Leeds, leading to loan moves to Cardiff City and Luton.
