00:00Leeds United are potentially eyeing a move for Newcastle defender Matt Target.
00:05Matt Target has been on loan at Middlesbrough, but his loan's coming to an end after their championship playoff defeat
00:13to Southampton.
00:15Target's temporary stay at Riverside was extended to cover those playoff games,
00:21with the defender unable to feature for Newcastle this season due to competition in the fullback area there.
00:28However, with Middlesbrough's season now over, attention has turned to his long-term future,
00:36with Leeds United potentially circling as favourites to sign the player.
00:40Target's contract in St James' Park expires at the end of June,
00:45and the player is expected to leave as a free agent of the struggling to find first-team football over
00:52the last three years.
00:54Now, Middlesbrough had been viewed as a potential candidate to sign Matt Target permanently,
01:01but if the club is not playing in the Premier League next season,
01:05it looks as though the 30-year-old will be eyeing a move to clubs that are there.
01:09He could even return to Southampton, and with them beating Middlesbrough and making it to a championship playoff final,
01:16Southampton could find themselves in the Premier League next season,
01:20and Matt Target could very well find himself back on the south coast.
01:24At this time, his most likely destination appears to be Leeds United.
