Leeds United and Middlesbrough interested in Portsmouth's Jamal Lowe


Leeds United and Middlesbrough are among four Sky Bet Championship clubs reportedly interested in signing Portsmouth's Jamal Lowe.

The winger is Pompey's top goalscorer this season with eleven. He has also provided a further four assists in 29 games in all competitions.

Sky Sports reports that Leeds, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest and West Brom are all keen on a January move for the 24-year old.

Lowe has established himself as a regular for Portsmouth since making the switch from non-league Hampton and Richmond Borough in October 2016.

In total, he has scored 23 goals in 93 appearances for the current League One leaders.

  • Derby - 20/1

Speaking to the Portsmouth News in December, Lowe discussed his current form by saying "I would say that I underachieved last season and this campaign I’m trying to fulfil what I know I can do.

"Last season, I should have scored about 15 goals – but I wasn’t clinical enough.

"That’s what I’m trying to bring to my game now, so when the chances do come then I take them."

Leeds are also said to be in the market for a goalkeeper this month, with Newcastle's Karl Darlow and Leicester's Eldin Jakupovic on their radar.
