According to 90 Minutes, Leeds United, Middlesbrough, and Hull City are among the clubs interested in St. Pat’s wonderkid Sam Curtis.
Leeds United, Middlesbrough, and Hull City will all try to strengthen their squads in the January transfer window. As the New Year approaches, championship clubs will be setting goals for themselves.
According to reports, the second-tier trio have all identified a similar objective in Irish youngster Sam Curtis.
Curtis has already played 60 games for League of Ireland club St. Pat’s at the age of 17. In the 2022–23 season, he appeared in 39 games across all competitions, contributing three goals and three assists while playing as a right-back or center-back.
As a result, he’s emerged on the radars of Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Hull City. They’re not the only admirers though 90min states that Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Celtic have also shown an interest in Curtis, who is widely expected to make a move away from St. Pat’s this winter.
Ambitious interest?
Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Hull City are all ambitious teams that would be intriguing options for a talented young player like Curtis. However, given the extensive senior experience he’s got at such a young age and the links with some of the country’s biggest clubs, it could be that he’s destined for a move elsewhere.
Curtis has already proven himself as a key player in a solid league and has been a regular in the Republic of Ireland’s age group sides. He’s captain of the U18s and has played twice for the U21s already.
For a player to have such pedigree at just 17, you can’t help but feel he’s set to join a top club soon. That could leave Leeds United, Middlesbrough and Hull City disappointed, but perhaps not surprised.
